CLASSIC is a high-quality premium Indian basmati rice with long, thin grains, ideal for making pilaf, biryani, salads, and side dishes. This rice variety is characterized by a light mustard-floral aroma with popcorn notes, which is a distinctive feature of true basmati. After cooking, the grains significantly increase in length while remaining fluffy, non-sticky, and separate, preserving the texture and taste of the dish.
CLASSIC rice is produced in India and packed in an original dense fabric sack or the manufacturer's branded package, Little India, which guarantees the preservation of freshness and product quality. The grains undergo thorough sorting and processing, ensuring a premium taste and aroma. This rice is not parboiled; it is polished and white, with a grain length of about 8.5 mm, which increases to 20.3 mm after cooking.
For preparation, it is recommended to thoroughly rinse the rice several times and use a minimal amount of water to prevent the grains from overcooking and becoming sticky. This approach allows the rice to steam faster while maintaining its fluffy structure. CLASSIC is excellent for both home cooking and dishes prepared in a kazan over an open fire, revealing the richness of flavor and aroma of traditional Indian cuisine.
