Carefully aged and polished, this basmati is ideal for everyday meals as well as special dishes like biryani, pulao, or simple steamed rice. In Indian kitchens, basmati is valued for its lightness and fragrance, often called “basmati chawal.” The 5kg pack is perfect for families who cook rice regularly and want consistent quality in every pot, whether for weekday dinners or festive meals.
India Gate Basmati Rice Classic is made from carefully selected long-grain basmati rice, traditionally grown in the Himalayan foothills. In Indian cuisine, basmati is the preferred rice for celebratory dishes such as biryani and pulao, as well as for everyday meals served with dal, sabzi, or curry. Its naturally elongated grains and gentle aroma make it a staple in households across North India.
This rice is easy to prepare. Rinse the grains until the water runs clear, soak for 20–30 minutes if desired, and cook using absorption or open-pot methods. The grains remain separate and fluffy, making it suitable for steamed rice, layered biryani, fried rice, or simple jeera rice. It pairs well with both mild and richly spiced dishes.
Across homes in the Netherlands, Germany, and France, basmati rice has become an everyday pantry essential. It fits seamlessly into European kitchens, whether served alongside Indian curries, Middle Eastern dishes, or modern fusion meals.
