Basmati Rice: Fragrant, Long-Grain Rice
A good curry deserves a good rice underneath it, and basmati is the one to reach for. Light, fragrant and naturally long-grained, it cooks up fluffy and separate rather than sticky, so the side dish earns as much of the praise as the main.
Aromatic rice for every dish
Whether you're making a vegetable biryani, a Middle Eastern pilaf or just want a fluffy side for a weeknight dinner, these grains do the job. The range covers:
White & brown basmati: choose Organic White Basmati for a delicate, fluffy grain that soaks up rich sauces, or Organic Brown Basmati, which keeps its bran layer for a chewier texture, a nuttier flavour and more fibre.
Organic & everyday options: pick certified organic grains, or the everyday non-organic lines that offer the same authentic quality at a lower price.
Naturally separate grains: basmati lengthens as it cooks and is lower in starch than standard long-grain rice, which is why it finishes fluffy and non-sticky almost every time.
It's the kind of everyday staple that quietly lifts your cooking, from a quick midweek dinner to a proper feast. Cook it well and the difference is hard to miss.

Basmati Rice FAQs
What makes basmati different from other long-grain rice? Basmati grains lengthen as they cook and contain less starch than standard long-grain rice, so they finish fluffy and separate rather than sticky, with a distinctive fragrance.
Should I rinse basmati before cooking? Yes, rinsing under cold water until it runs clear removes surface starch and helps the grains stay separate. Soaking it for 20–30 minutes first gives even fluffier results.
How much water do I use? A good guide is about 1 part rice to 1.5 parts water for white basmati. Brown basmati needs more water, around 1 to 2.5, and a longer simmer.
What's the difference between white and brown basmati? Brown basmati keeps its bran layer, so it's chewier, nuttier and higher in fibre but takes longer to cook. White basmati is lighter and fluffier and cooks faster.
