This is a long-grain rice prized for its delicate fragrance and fluffy, non-sticky texture when cooked.
Grown organically in the fertile foothills of northern India, this white basmati rice carries the heritage of centuries. Its name means ‘full of aroma,’ and true to that, each grain releases a subtle, nutty fragrance that fills the kitchen with warmth and comfort.
The grains stay light and separate after cooking, making it the perfect companion for curries, pilafs, and biryanis. Its gentle flavour lets spices and sauces shine without overpowering them. Beyond taste, it’s naturally low in fat and easy to digest, offering a wholesome choice for everyday meals.
1.Rinsing the Rice: Before cooking, rinse the organic white basmati rice under cold water until the water runs clear. This helps remove excess starch for fluffier grains.
2.Water to Rice Ratio: Use the ratio of 1.5 cups of water to 1 cup of rice for cooking. Adjust slightly based on your preference for softer or firmer rice.
3.How To Simmer: Use a heavy-bottomed pot with a tight-fitting lid for cooking. Bring the water to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer gently. Avoid stirring the rice and once cooked let it sit covered for 5-10 minutes off the heat.
4.Seasoning: Use a fork to gently fluff the rice before serving. For added flavor, you can cook the rice in broth, add a pinch of salt to the cooking water or add spices like cardamom pods or cloves.
5.Resting: If preparing rice for a meal, cook it slightly ahead of time and allow it to rest covered. This helps the rice firm up slightly and makes it easier to handle when serving.
