Our basmati rice comes all the way from India, where it is re-cleaned in Vancouver, ensuring a superior product. It is not put through bleaching, pearling, oiling, or powdering processes, letting it retain its natural flavour and high nutritional value. Before cooking, we recommend washing it in several changes of cold water.

Soaking Soaking is actually a part of the cooking process and, for Basmati rice dishes, soaking will shorten cooking time and allow the rice to expand into long thin grains. Older basmati rice that can be brittle may also be soaked so the grains do not break. Rinsing Rice from India may have excess powdered starch clinging to the grains due to more primitive milling techniques or equipment, and some may be coated with talc, glucose, starch, or other coatings to improve appearance. Therefore, we recommend rinsing our Indian Basmati rice. Cooking Basmati Rice* Cooking times will vary depending on the age of the rice and whether you rinse it, as well as how many times you rinse it and whether you soak it before cooking. General directions: Rinse if needed; soak for 15 to 30 minutes. Use 1 3⁄4 to 2 cups liquid to 1 part rice. Cook for 15 minutes. Remove from heat. Let sit covered for 10 to 15 minutes. * It is best to follow directions in specific recipes for the dish you are preparing. |
