India Gate Excel Basmati Rice is a premium quality, extra-long grain rice sourced from the fertile Terai region of North-Western Himalaya in India. Renowned for its slender grains, it elongates up to three times its original length when cooked, resulting in a fluffy texture. The rice emits a delicate aroma and offers a subtle, nutty flavor, making it ideal for various dishes like biryanis, pilafs, and steamed preparations. It's non-GMO and free from artificial additives. To prepare, rinse thoroughly, soak for 15 minutes, and cook with a 1:2 rice-to-water ratio for 9-10 minutes.
