Tilda Pure Basmati Rice 5kg

Tilda Pure Basmati Rice 5kg is a fragrant and versatile rice suitable for traditional South Asian dishes, everyday dinners and special-occasion cooking.

Tilda carefully selects and purity-tests its basmati grains to maintain the distinctive aroma, flavour and delicate texture associated with pure basmati rice. When cooked correctly, the grains become light, fluffy and separate, making them an excellent accompaniment to curries, dals, vegetables and grilled dishes.

Use Tilda Pure Basmati Rice to prepare chicken biryani, lamb biryani, vegetable pulao, pilaf, jeera rice, steamed rice, fried rice and rice bowls. Its slender grains absorb the flavour of herbs, whole spices, stock and sauces while maintaining their characteristic texture.

The generous 5kg bag is convenient for families, shared households, frequent rice users, parties and customers who regularly prepare rice-based meals.

Rinse the rice thoroughly before cooking to remove excess surface starch. It can then be prepared using an open-pan method, absorption method or a suitable rice cooker.
