Product Information

Please go-ahead to the recipe card now to get on with cooking, this next bit of writing explains each part of the process.

Tilda Basmati tastes like no other rice on earth. Unlike ordinary long grain rice the light, fluffy texture of Basmati’s long, slender grains offers the palate a totally different experience in terms of mouth-feel and taste – distinctive, unique and slightly ‘nutty’. Basmati has a low to medium glycemic index, meaning that energy is released at a slower, steadier rate leading to a more balanced level of energy. As long as the rice has been stored correctly you can eat it cold the next day or reheat it in a pan with a splash of water to keep it from drying out or in the microwave, again with a splash of water. Finally, you can remove the lid, use a fork to fluff up and marvel over the beauty of perfectly cooked rice. How to flavour rice?

Add the washed rice to a pan of water using a 2 to 1 water to rice ratio. So for 120g of rice use 240g/ml water. The correct ratio is important to make sure the grains cook perfectly – not too dry or slightly soggy.

In all honesty, even though we are English we always use the American cup method to cook rice as it is a lot simpler! When measuring rice in the UK for the absorption method use 100 grams of rice per person, the amount of water needed is 125ml, plus an extra 125ml to allow for the release of steam. It should not be sat around at room temperature for longer than 1 hour as it is very susceptible to growing bacteria making the rice unsafe to eat. I have simplified it below, including how many people it will serve, from a single serving of rice to 8+ people. Please note I have been very generous with portion sizes here. How many people serve -Seafood- Our seafood boil sauce is a great addition to stir through it when serving with seafood. How to serve? Basmati Rice - Broken Grains. Allergy Information: Free From Gluten. No artificial colours or flavours No additives or preservatives Gluten free and suitable for vegetarians-All products will be shipped from the UK - We recommend using a medium-size hob ring as the largest hob burner can be fierce! Turn heat to maximum and allow it to come to a boil. Once the 8 minutes are up, turn the heat off but do not remove the lid still, allow to rest for 5 minutes.

The 125ml extra water for the release of steam will always be 125ml regardless of the amount of rice cooked.

I tested this before writing, 2 cups (400g) of uncooked rice will make over 5 cups (780g) of rice once cooked! Which is enough for 4 adults to share! Do I need to wash basmati rice? Do not double the amount of water when doubling the amount of rice always use the ratio of 125ml water to 100g of rice than an extra 125ml of water on top. As long as it has been placed in the fridge within an hour after cooking, leftover cooked rice should be kept in an airtight container.
