How to Use

For Perfect Steamed Rice

Rinse 1 cup of India Gate Broken Basmati Rice under cold water 2-3 times until water runs clear. Soak for 15-20 minutes (optional but recommended). Add 1.5 cups of water and a pinch of salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 12-15 minutes. Let it rest covered for 5 minutes, then fluff with a fork.

For Biryani

Rinse and soak rice for 20 minutes. Parboil in salted water with whole spices (bay leaf, cinnamon, cardamom) for 6-8 minutes until 70% cooked. Drain and layer over your prepared meat or vegetable masala. Cover tightly and cook on dum (low heat) for 20-25 minutes. The broken grains absorb flavors beautifully while maintaining texture.

For Pulao

Rinse rice thoroughly. Heat ghee or oil, add whole spices and aromatics. Add 1 cup rice and sauté for 2 minutes. Add 1.75 cups hot water or stock, vegetables if desired, and salt. Bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Rest for 5 minutes before serving.

For Fried Rice

Cook rice as per steamed rice method and spread on a tray to cool completely (preferably refrigerate for 2-3 hours or use day-old rice). The broken grains work exceptionally well for fried rice as they don't clump together. Stir-fry with vegetables, protein, and sauces of your choice.

For Khichdi

Combine 1 cup broken basmati rice with ½ cup split moong dal. Rinse together 2-3 times. Add 4 cups water, turmeric, salt, and vegetables. Pressure cook for 3-4 whistles or simmer in a pot for 20-25 minutes until soft and porridge-like. Temper with ghee and cumin seeds.

Storage Tips

Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight. For extended freshness, you can refrigerate the rice after opening. Use within 6-12 months for best aroma and quality. Keep away from strong-smelling foods as rice absorbs odors.
