Kaalar Basmati Steam Rice 1kg – Extra Long, Fluffy & Non-Sticky Grains

Description

The Art of Perfectly Separate Grains: Kaalar Basmati Steam Rice – 1kg)

Achieve culinary perfection with Kaalar Basmati Steam Rice 1kg, a premium quality rice offering from the Kaalar brand, available at Ideal Indiska in Stockholm. This Basmati rice undergoes a specialized steaming process (similar to parboiling or sella, but often with specific techniques) which fortifies the grains, helps them retain more nutrients, and most importantly, ensures they cook up exceptionally fluffy, separate, and elongated without sticking together.

 The “Steam” Advantage in Basmati Rice.
The steaming process alters the starch structure of the rice grains, leading to several desirable qualities:

• Exceptionally Separate & Non-Sticky Grains: This is the hallmark of well-processed steam/sella Basmati. Each grain remains distinct after cooking, making it ideal for layered dishes like Biryani.

• Fluffy Texture: Cooks to a wonderfully light and fluffy consistency.

• Extra-Long Grain Elongation: The grains elongate significantly upon cooking, often more than regular white Basmati, creating an elegant presentation.

• Retains Aroma: While the processing method is different, Kaalar Basmati Steam Rice still aims to deliver the characteristic delightful aroma of Basmati.

• More forgiving to cook (Often): The parboiling/steaming process can make the rice less prone to overcooking or becoming mushy.

• Nutrient Retention (Compared to fully polished white rice): The steaming process can help some nutrients from the bran to migrate into the endosperm.

• Premium Kaalar Quality: Kaalar is known for its quality rice products, ensuring a consistent and satisfying experience.

Culinary Uses for Kaalar Basmati Steam Rice.

Its non-sticky and fluffy nature makes it perfect for:

• Biryani: The ideal choice for all types of Biryani (Chicken, Mutton, Vegetable, Hyderabadi, Sindhi etc.) where separate, fragrant grains are essential for the perfect layered texture.

• Pulao/Pilaf: Creates beautiful and flavorful pulaos where each grain is distinct.

• Fried Rice: Excellent for making restaurant-style fried rice as the grains don’t clump.

• Serving with Curries & Dals: A wonderful accompaniment to any Indian or Pakistani main course, especially if you prefer rice that doesn’t stick.

• Special Occasion Rice Dishes: Its elegant appearance and texture make it suitable for festive meals.

 Cooking Instructions.
(General instructions for steamed/sella Basmati, always refer to the pack for Kaalar’s specific guidance)

1. Rinse: Gently rinse 1 cup of Kaalar Basmati Steam Rice in cold water 2-3 times.

2. Soak (Recommended): Soak the rinsed rice in fresh water for at least 30 minutes to 1 hour. This helps the grains to cook evenly and elongate fully.

3. Cook (Open Pot): Drain the soaked rice. Add it to 1.75 to 2 cups of boiling water with a pinch of salt (optional). Cook on medium-low heat, covered, for 12-15 minutes, or until all water is absorbed and the rice is tender. Avoid stirring frequently.

4. Cook (Closed Pot/Rice Cooker): Use approximately 1.75 cups of water for every 1 cup of soaked rice. Follow the rice cooker’s instructions.

5. Rest: Once cooked, let the rice stand covered for 5-10 minutes. This allows the grains to firm up and separate further.

6. Fluff: Gently fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
