Our take on the India Gate Classic Basmati Rice

India Gate Classic is a long-grain aged basmati from one of the best-known basmati brands, sold in large bags for everyday and festive cooking. Its grains are extra-long and slender, and they cook up separate and fluffy with the faint nutty aroma basmati is known for. It suits anyone cooking biryani, pulao or plain rice alongside curries. Against premium aged basmatis it is a solid middle choice: less intensely fragrant than top-tier aged lots, but consistent and forgiving.

Questions and answers

Is this the same as India Gate Dubar or Feast Rozzana?
No. Classic sits between them: longer aged grains and more aroma than Feast Rozzana, but Dubar is the premium aged line with a stronger fragrance.
How should I cook it for separate grains?
Rinse until the water runs clear, soak for about 20 to 30 minutes, then cook in plenty of water and drain. Let it rest covered before fluffing with a fork.
Is it good for biryani?
Yes. The long grains hold their shape and stay separate, which is what layered biryani needs. Soak them first and parboil only partway.
How should I store a large bag?
Move it to an airtight container once opened and keep it cool and dry. Basmati keeps for months this way and holds its aroma better.
Does it need soaking?
It is not required, but soaking for 20 to 30 minutes gives longer, more separate grains and shortens cooking time.

At Indiangoods, for $18.68, 33% under what the other stores charge, as of our latest check.
