India Gate Classic Basmati Rice, India - 5KG

Aged basmati rice, 5kg. India Gate Classic is a long grain that has been aged at least 12 months, so it lengthens, smells nutty, and cooks in separate grains. Biryani houses and family pots both use the 5kg bag.

Biryani, pulao, jeera rice, a plain curry rice, mandi, kabsa, machboos, and Persian steamed rice all take it. Rinse it. Don't skip the rinse and then complain that the pot is sticky. Ageing helps. Rinsing still matters. 5kg is a family bag and a small restaurant bag, not a 20kg sack.

Keep it sealed, cool, and off the floor. Weigh the rice and the water. A 5kg bag invites people to pour by eye, and basmati punishes that.
