Kohinoor Gold Basmati Rice 2kg

Kohinoor Gold Basmati Rice 2kg is a premium extra long grain basmati rice, expertly grown in the foothills of the Himalayas, with the best grains hand-selected to ensure the very finest quality from paddy to plate. Once cooked, each grain stays separate and delightfully fluffy - the hallmark of proper basmati chawal that South Asian households swear by.

What makes it special? Kohinoor basmati comes from the Himalayan regions of India, grown in fertile fields where snow-fed valleys provide the ideal conditions for authentic basmati with its characteristic aroma and long grains. The rice is milled and packed in the UK by Indo European Foods Ltd, so quality is controlled right up to the bag on your shelf.

It's the ideal rice for chicken biryani, veg pulao, jeera rice, khichdi, matar pulao, dal chawal and Sunday mutton biryani alike — anywhere you want long, non-sticky grains with that unmistakable basmati fragrance. To cook: allow 60g of uncooked rice per person and rinse well in cold water, bring a large pan of water to the boil, add the rice, reduce to a low heat, cover and simmer for 10–12 minutes, then drain, stand for 2 minutes and fluff with a fork. Pro tip: soak for 20–30 minutes beforehand for even longer, silkier grains.

Storage is easy — store in a cool dry place, ideally in an airtight container once opened.
