Last five years I am using this Rice but never give us time for complain . Yesterday we got deliveries but this time I am shocked to see that very wrost quality of rice he packed and send . After cooking I felt to bad for my hefty expense . Due yo that I have cancelled subscription
Excellent product
Out of 2 bags of 5 Kg each ordered, only one bag delivered. This is brought into your notice as it caused inconvenience.
Overpriced..... aroma is not up to the mark.... definitely not suitable for biryani or pulav ... not worth the price
Great taste, nice aroma and now using this rice since long. After using this rice never liked any other brand. This is gluten free and non glycemic as claimed in product details.
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 :)
Most buyers notice a pleasant basmati aroma, but the feedback is not one-sided. Many reviews praise the fragrance before and during cooking, while some shoppers say the aroma feels mild or less noticeable after cooking. Aroma expectations seem to depend on what buyers usually compare basmati against.
Reviewers consistently call out the grain length as a strength. Buyers say the grains stay long, keep their shape, and often look larger after cooking, which is why the rice gets picked for presentation-focused meals as well as everyday plates.
Cooked basmati rice is intended to come out fluffy and separate rather than sticky. The product notes a non-sticky texture, and shopper feedback on grain length supports that expectation when the rice is handled gently during cooking. That texture suits meals where distinct grains matter.
Customers generally like the flavor. Reviews often describe the rice as tasty and easy to enjoy with family meals, while the product details point to a subtle nutty profile instead of an overpowering taste. That combination suits dishes where the rice should complement, not dominate.
A smaller group of buyers reports broken grains, so consistency is not universally praised. Most feedback still leans positive on overall rice quality, but shoppers who care strongly about whole long grains should know that some reviews mention broken rice or torn inner packaging.
Value is the main point where opinions split. Some repeat buyers say the quality, flavor, and grain length justify the cost, while others feel similarly good basmati can be found for less. Price satisfaction seems tied to how much priority you place on grain appearance and aroma.
