Kohinoor Gold Basmati Rice 5kg

Kohinoor Gold Basmati Rice 5kg is a premium aged white basmati rice with extra-long grains, a mild fragrance and a light, fluffy cooked texture. This versatile family-size bag is ideal for everyday meals, biryani, pulao, pilau rice and special occasions.

The carefully selected basmati grains are associated with the Himalayan foothills and are aged to develop their distinctive texture and aroma. When prepared correctly, the grains become longer, separate and fluffy, helping create attractively presented rice dishes without a heavy or sticky texture.

Use Kohinoor Gold Basmati Rice for chicken biryani, lamb biryani, vegetable biryani, paneer biryani, pulao, pilau rice, jeera rice, saffron rice and everyday steamed rice. It can also be served with dal, chana masala, rajma, paneer curry, chicken curry, lamb curry, saag, vegetables and grilled dishes.
