How to Cook

Covered-Pan Absorption Method

For fluffy Tilda Basmati Rice, rinse the dry rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess surface starch. Tilda recommends a water-to-rice ratio of approximately 2:1 for this method.

1. Place the rinsed rice in a pan with the measured water and bring to the boil.
2. Stir once, cover and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer.
3. Cook over a low heat for approximately 10–12 minutes, keeping the lid on.
4. Remove from the heat and leave covered for 3 minutes.
5. Fluff gently with a fork before serving.

Use these timings as general manufacturer guidance for dry basmati. Follow your pack's instructions if they differ, and adjust for your pan, cooker and preferred texture.

Serving Ideas

Serve Tilda Basmati Rice alongside dal or curry, cook it with whole spices for pilau, or use it in your favourite biryani recipe. For layered biryani, follow the recipe's separate parboiling and finishing instructions rather than fully cooking the rice first.

Storage

Store the uncooked rice in a cool, dry place. Keep the pack securely closed after opening, or transfer it to a clean, airtight food container. Follow the best-before date and any additional instructions on the packaging.
