India Gate Premium Basmati Rice 5kg

India Gate Premium Basmati Rice is aged before milling, and that ageing is what gives it the long, slender grain and the clean aroma that lifts as soon as the pot comes to steam. The grains cook dry and separate and roughly double in length, so they hold their shape in a biryani instead of collapsing into the masala.

This is the Premium line — India Gate's everyday aged basmati, and the one most households cook with week to week rather than saving for special occasions.

Best for

• Biryani and pulao, where separate grains matter
• Jeera rice and plain steamed rice alongside dal or curry
• Fried rice, and any dish where the rice gets reheated

How to cook it

Rinse until the water runs clear, then soak for 20 to 30 minutes. Use about 1.5 parts water to 1 part rice. Bring to the boil, cover, and cook on a low heat for 10 to 12 minutes. Let it rest for 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Pack and storage
