Basmati is the rice for dal, curry, pulao and biryani: extra-long grains that stay separate when cooked. We stock basmati from Daawat, Akash and Tilda, from a 1 kg pack to a 20 kg bag. Large bags usually cost less per kilo, and we deliver them to your door.
How much basmati do you need?
Allow 75 g of uncooked rice per person. A 10 kg bag then gives about 130 portions and 20 kg about 265. Kept dry and airtight, white basmati lasts a long time.
