Description
Sitara Traditional Basmati Rice, 4.54kg (a solid 10-pounder for those of us still clinging to imperial sanity), is the kind of rice you bring home when you’re done messing around with the generic stuff and want the real deal. This isn’t your average short-grain, sticky, mystery rice. No, sir—this is long, slender, fragrant, and dignified rice that knows where it comes from: the foothills of the Himalayas, where Basmati has been cultivated for centuries like a prized family secret.
What makes it special?
- Aged to perfection – This rice is typically aged for about 12-24 months, which sounds like a wine flex, but in rice terms, it’s even better. Aged basmati cooks up fluffier, with that signature aroma and the kind of separation between grains that makes chefs weep tears of joy.
- Aroma and flavor – If you’ve ever caught a whiff of good basmati while it’s cooking, you know it’s not just rice—it’s dinner theatre. Nutty, fragrant, and naturally rich in flavor.
- Cooking quality – Sitara holds its shape beautifully. No mushy disasters here—this is the kind of rice you use when you’re serving biryani, pilaf, or even just as a side to something saucy and spicy.
