Basmati 1.6kg

Basmati is ideal for making pilafs and great as an accompaniment to stir-fried vegetables, stews, curries, grilled fish or chicken, and even for a rice pudding!

The word Basmati means ‘fragrant’ in Hindi. Basmati has a comforting, slightly nutty, smell.

A subtly nutty ‘pandan-like’ flavour. Pandan is a leaf that is commonly used to add flavour to South East Asian dishes, leaving a mysterious nutty aroma which reminds you of banana leaves and coconut.

Soft & fluffy, with perfectly separated grains.

Long and slim, separate grains when cooked.

Himalayan foothills bordering Pakistan & India.

The belief that soaking rice before cooking elongates the grain is a myth! However, basmati rice does elongate during cooking.
