About this item
Every grain stands on its own. Nitra Zaiqa-E-Hind is our premium aged basmati rice, the Indian basmati we reserve for royal biryani, festive pulao and the dishes you cook for special occasions.
Why cooks choose it
Ageing gives the extra-long grains their character: they stretch noticeably on cooking, stay firm and separate, and carry a rich, unmistakable basmati aroma. Layer after layer of biryani keeps its shape, so the pot looks as good as it tastes.
What to cook with it
- Hyderabadi-style vegetable dum biryani
- Saffron and dry-fruit pulao
- Jeera rice for festive thalis
- Pilaf with almonds and raisins
How to cook
Rinse the rice gently three times and soak for 30 minutes. For open-pot cooking, boil in plenty of salted water until just tender, then drain. For absorption cooking, use about 1.5 cups of water per cup of soaked rice, simmer covered and rest for 10 minutes before fluffing with a fork.
Pack sizes
Available in 5 kg, 10 kg and 20 kg packs.
Storage
Keep in a clean, airtight container in a cool, dry place away from strong smells. Use a dry scoop every time.
