Aahu Barah Basmati Sela Rice - Extra-Long Grain for Superior Culinary Delights 10lb Pack

As a Michelin starred chef, I must say this is my ABSOLUTE favorite rice to keep at home. The aroma is like no other. One you try this Basmati, it's hard to choose another. I love a good jasmine rice, but this is just next level flavor. Hint.....add a tablespoon of coconut oil to the water when cooking. Thank my later! :)

This is very good 👍

I love this rice!

Excellent basmati rice. No stones or dirt. Sturdy bag with plastic lining.

This Aahu Barah Basmati Rice is delicious and amazingly flavorful. We use an Aroma Rice Cooker similar to this one ( Aroma Housewares 20 Cup Cooked (10 cup uncooked) Digital Rice Cooker, Slow Cooker, Food Steamer, SS Exterior (ARC-150SB) ) and the rice cooks up perfectly in about 20-30 minutes. To end up with about 4 cups of cooked rice, we put 2 cups of uncooked rice and 3 cups of water into the rice cooker. Prior to starting the rice cooker, I would also recommend adding a dash of salt, olive oil, and saffron to taste. This saffron is the best we've found ( Mehr Saffron, Premium All Red Saffron / 0.18 Oz (5 Gram) ). This Aahu Barah Basmati rice is definitely a 5-star product and I would recommend it to anyone without hesitation. That being said, this rice is probably available at a cheaper price if you can find a local store that carries it. We have been unable to find it anywhere locally and don't mind paying the premium to have it delivered.

I became interested in Indian cuisine a year or so ago and did most of my shopping at a local family-owned (LOVELY family!) specialty store. With Covid-19 (I'm very high risk), I'm doing whatever I need to do to stay safe, so I've been acquiring food differently than I ever imagined. I really like "real" basmati rice and was out, so I tried Amazon. Yes, it's more expensive than the local store, but services cost money. Getting stuff delivered from the supermarket costs more too. It's just how it is. Hopefully, none of us will have to live through another pandemic in our lifetimes! ANYway...I tried this rice and was blown away by the fragrance when I opened the bag- it was WONDERFUL! It cooks up well, too (I don't soak it, but I do rinse it until the water runs clear). And if I wasn't a complete klutz and always dropping things, I wouldn't be buying it again quite so soon!

Not the best rice but not bad

Absolutely the best basmati rice. Have purchased it for myself and as a gift. It is a treasure and an essential to have on hand, especially during uncertain economic times.
