Daawat Traditional Basmati Rice 1Kg
This is the rice that turns a Sunday pot of pilau into the thing everyone fights over the last scoop of. Daawat Traditional is aged long-grain basmati from the Himalayan foothills, so the grains stay long, separate and fluffy instead of clumping into a sticky mush. You'll smell it before you taste it, that warm popcorn-y aroma drifting off the pot. Grab the 1kg pack and you're sorted for biryani, pilau or a simple bowl of steamed rice tonight.
Aged basmati is all about texture and aroma. The grains are long and slender, and because they're naturally matured for up to two years, they cook dry and fluffy with each one staying distinct, not gluey. There's a gentle nutty, almost popcorn fragrance that fills the kitchen, and a soft, delicate flavour that carries spice and ghee beautifully without ever fighting your curry. Rinse it, give it a soak, and it rewards you with a light pile of separate grains every time.
The details
Pairs well with
Where it's from
Daawat is one of India's most-loved basmati brands, made by LT Foods, a family rice business that started back in 1965 with a rice agent in Amritsar and grew into a name shipped to more than 80 countries. The clever bit is the ageing: the grains rest in some of the largest silos in India for up to two years before they're packed, which is what gives them that deeper aroma and the firm, fluffy cook. The basmati itself is grown in the foothills of the Himalayas, the only place it gets that genuine long-grain character.
