Traditional Basmati Rice
Long grain, floral aroma, the classic choice for biryani and pulao.
Available as
- Raw
- Steam
This is basmati as it has been grown around Taraori and Karnal for generations: slender, ivory grains that open into long, separate strands with a scent of jasmine and warm hay.
We rest every harvest before milling, so the grain firms up, the aroma deepens, and each strand lengthens fully in the pot without splitting.
