Shelf Life:

How to Use:

To cook delicious, fluffy Basmati rice either steam, boil or use the reduction method. Saffron is superb with Basmati and can be added to the pot at the beginning of the cooking process.

Boiling Method – Add rice to boiling water and simmer for about 15 minutes, or until tender. Remove from heat, and leave covered for a further 5 minutes before fluffing with a fork.

Reduction Method – fill cold water to about 1.5 cm above rice and simmer, covered, until water has evaporated, about 18 minutes. Let stand for further 5 minutes, fluff and serve.

Basmati is wonderful served with dhal, Thai or Indian curries and spicy bean dishes, or use it in paella and pilaffs.
