SHRILALMAHAL Empire Basmati Rice (Most Premium) (1 Kg)

Very good quality rice , 10 kg pack is very cost effective

Super duper rice and good aroma cooking time is less rice size is long to good product thxs a lot

Good quality rice for special use, it’s bit overpriced though. Almost as if you are paying an export price intended for Middle East in india

I'm a picky one when it comes to food and very specificily rice. This brand of basmati is absolutely a delightful treat !!! Be it the length of the grain or taste or aroma all are A+ !!! Very happy buyer here.

Pathetic quality control by the seller - this is third time in last 6 months that I have ordered 10kg and recieved 5kg- to resolve the issue I had to go through the Amazon customer care(which in this case functions as third party vendor), the process then takes 10-15 days with no worthwhile resolutionThough the product is good but it loses its charm because of the hassle involved

Average quality, nothing special. Will go back to locally sourced, cheaper and better.

Exigent quality

The moment you open the pack, one single whiff and you know that you have got the right product. Its not artificially long & works just perfect. I tried making both pulav and dum biryani - each time it came out to be just perfect with my regular measurements.If cooking the rice outside seperate - use 2 cups of boiling water for 1 cup of rice - cook over med-high for 3-4 mins till the grains are fairly visible on top and then on the lowest flame covered for 8 mins. Leave it to rest for 10 mins after cooking and you would end up with the most fluffy soft and perfect cooked rice. Same method can be used for pulav too where you can add water after cooking the veggies and then add rice in the end.For biryani, I boiled around 2-3 lits of water for 2.5 cups of rice and after adding all the spices, I just cooked the rice in it for 5-6 mins. Layered it and dum cooked for about - 5 mins on high, 25 mins on low over tawa, 5 mins again on high ( These were the timings for my dum process ) and each grain gave a standing salute when I opened my degchi !Most importantly this rice absorbs flavors very nicely and has very low starchy effect. Probably one of the best ones in market but I seriously hope they price it a little competitively. I got a 1 kilo pack to start by and for 230 per kilo, this pinches your pocket quite a lot :)
