Organic Basmati Rice - White 1kg

Dhatu Organic White Basmati Rice — Aged, Aromatic & Certified OrganicThere is Basmati, and then there is authentic Basmati. Dhatu's Organic White Basmati is sourced from the traditional Basmati-growing heartland of the Indo-Gangetic plains — aged for over a year, certified organic, and delivering the legendary elongation, non-stick texture and unmistakable 2-AP fragrance that Basmati is loved for.What makes true Basmati?

Authentic Basmati has a Protected Geographical Indication (PGI) — it can only be labelled Basmati if grown in specific districts of India and Pakistan. The unique terroir of the Himalayan foothills, the specific water, soil mineral profile and altitude, combined with the indigenous seed genetics, produces the 2-acetyl-1-pyrroline compound responsible for the signature popcorn-like fragrance.

Product Highlights Single ingredient: Organic White Basmati Rice Certified organic — NPOP certified from traditional Basmati-growing regions Minimum 1-year aging — reduces moisture, deepens aroma, prevents stickiness Extra-long grain: 7.2mm+ grain length, elongates to 15mm+ when cooked Naturally low in fat and sodium Naturally gluten-free No added fragrance, no polishing agents, no chemical treatment Each grain cooks separately — never clumps or becomes sticky How to Cook Perfect White BasmatiWash: Rinse 3–4 times until water runs completely clear — this removes excess surface starch and prevents gummy rice. Soak: Soak for 20–30 minutes in cold water.

Cook: 1:1.75 rice:water ratio (less water than brown rice as there is no bran to hydrate). Bring to a rapid boil, reduce to lowest possible heat, cover tightly and cook for exactly 12 minutes.

Remove from heat, keep covered and rest for 8 minutes. Fluff with a fork — each grain should be distinct, fluffy and perfectly elongated.Ideal ForBiryani (chicken, mutton, prawn, vegetarian) · Jeera rice and simple pulaos · Khichdi · Dal and rice · Curd rice · Steamed rice with curry · Persian-style saffron rice · Fried rice (day-old Basmati is perfect)About Dhatu OrganicsDhatu sources only certified organic Basmati from farms in the designated Basmati-growing regions.
