- How do I cook India Gate Classic basmati so the grains stay separate?
- Rinse until the water runs clear, then soak for about 15 to 30 minutes. Use roughly 1 part rice to 1.5 to 2 parts water and cook covered for 9 to 10 minutes, then rest and fluff.
- Is this rice gluten-free?
- Yes. It contains only basmati rice, with no gluten, fat or sodium, and it is vegetarian.
- How does Classic differ from India Gate's premium basmati lines?
- Classic is the everyday aged basmati. Premium lines such as Dubar and Tibar are aged longer and selected for longer grains and stronger aroma, which shows more in biryani.
- Does it need soaking?
- It is not required, but soaking for 15 to 30 minutes improves grain length and separation, especially for biryani.
- How should I store the 10 lb bag?
- Transfer to an airtight container once opened and keep it dry and cool. The bag itself is not resealable.
- Is it suitable for everyday meals or only special dishes?
- Both. It works as a plain side with curries and dal, and holds up in biryani and pulao.
