Daawat Traditional Basmati White Rice - 10 lb Bag

This rice is a staple in my kitchen! Daawat Traditional Basmati cooks up beautifully — long, fluffy grains with that signature aroma and light, nutty flavor that elevates every dish. Whether I’m making biryani, stir-fry, or a simple side, it turns out perfect every time.The 10 lb bag is a great value and lasts a while, especially since the quality is so consistent. It’s my go-to brand for basmati — no sticking, no clumping, just great rice every time.Highly recommend if you want authentic, restaurant-quality basmati rice at home!

Best rice that can be found in markets today.Those people who like to have a healthy diet to use as a side dish. Or if you’re traditionally cooking Indian or Persian food you would love this rice.

The rice grains are in excellent condition. This is easy to cook and get great results. I have used Indian and Persian methods for cooking this rice. The grains become extremely long and fluffy. It's got a very nice aroma.

This rice has become our house rice. Easy to prepare fresh rice. It is durable but we never have to worry. We go through this size fast. You will too

Package came in perfect condition. Rice expiration date was good and the bag had nothing but good, full, long grains of Basmati. The Aroma out of the bag was not as strong as others like Tilda, but the rice was cleaner and required less washing. I use a rice cooker and add water to just below the line, as well as salt and a dash of cooking oil. I have found that Basmati tends to over cook and dry out in the rice cooker, so I switch the cooker to warm once I can really smell the rice strongly, and then shut it off completely after 10 minutes. This rice turned out good that way. It is definitely a totally good Basmati, and one you may prefer if you like a milder rice flavor than others that are far more nutty. But, it does lack some of the fragrance and aromas of other brands.

exceptional rice very long grain.but Amazon has issues in shipping it or any other brand of rice when the bag is 10lbs or morethe last two orders the bag has been damaged - but that's Amazon's fault not Dawaat Rice

Light and subtle if prepared correctly. I judge it probably the best Basmati rice available on the American market. I did not give it 5 star because I prefer the earthier and rougher taste of Royal Basmati (and other cheaper brands). I grew up with a Pakistani cook whose curry was so hot and spice rough that it took a earthy rice to be barely noticed. I now keep several Basmati brands in my kitchen and if I am doing American-French (light spice food) I Go for the Daawat! Pakistani or Tex-Mex and its Royal or Elephant etc.Why kill a great delicate rice with heavy spices or deprive a mean spiced dish of the earthier village tasting rices? Keep a bag of each but if you have to go with one bag, go with the Daawat! (Note I do not have a rice cooker, do my rice in a pot, so have no idea what any taste like if you are using a rice cooker!)

This rice is good, tastes fine, but it's falsely advertised with Shah Rukh Khan on the bag of rice and in the advertising pics of the item. I bought this expensive brand of rice twice now, ONLY to get the Shah Rukh Khan bag that is pictured, and two times got only the plain bag with no Shah Rukh Khan. Very disappointing and Amazon should not be allowed to advertise something looking a certain way then send a different version of it. I think I'm going to give up on Amazon sending one that looks like the pic and keeping looking in Indian grocery stores. I have absolutely nothing against Daawat brand rice, it's Amazon that is frustrating. Daawat is brilliant for choosing Shah Rukh as their brand ambassador. So if you want good basmati rice it's fine but if you're a Shah Rukh Khan fan that cares more about the cute package, don't get your hopes up.

Bought because of Americas Test Kitchen win on taste test. Is good.

Attention, le riz qui vous est livré ne correspond pas à la photo. Il ne s'agit pas du Basmati "traditionnel" de chez DAAWAT, comme indiqué sur LA PHOTO, mais de basmati "original".La différence est importante chez DAAWAT car il ne s'agit absolument pas de la même gamme de produit et du même type de riz (traitement...).Le produit ne peut être retourné.

Allora: non arriva il “traditional”, bensì un tipo chiamato “original”. Ho visto, però, sul sito Daawat.com che questo “original” non esiste. Infatti per il mercato europeo è stato riconfenzionato diversamente con questo nome, come si può facilmente vedere sul sito daawat.eu.Anche il tipo “biryani”, acquistato in precedenza altrove, in Europa viene rinominato “extra long basamati”, ed in USA si chiama “Ultima”, mentre da noi manca proprio il tipo “Pulav”, che sto cercando per il perfetto pulao.La busta con chiusura ermetica è molto comoda ed è da 5kg, non 4.54. Questo basmati ha un chicco abbastanza lungo, un po’ più del Tilda “Original”, altrove chiamato “pure original” o “legendary”, ma molto meno del Biryani/extra long/ultima della stessa Daawat, o dell’eccellente Pride of India. Ad ogni modo è invecchiato almeno 2 anni e, già lavandolo, rilascia il suo tipico aroma col chicco che rimane bianco. Una volta ammollato 20-30 minuti, durante la tostatura dà il meglio di sé. Il profumo è davvero buono ed il chicco non diventa quasi trasparente, ma rimane bianco latte. Ieri sera ho fatto un pilaf tostandolo nel ghee, burro chiarificato, a cui ho aggiunto cumino, macis e cannella, poi l’ho fatto bollire e portato a riassorbimento dell’acqua, ed infine lasciato riposare 10-15 minuti. Il riso é risultato soffice, con grani ben divisi e cotti perfettamente, non troppo al dente. Mi piacerebbe trovare anche la versione extra long/biryani/ultima e la versione integrale di Daawat, perché adoro il profumo del basmati integrale.Sperando di trovare su Amazon anche il Pride of India, lo Shrilalmahal e il celeberrimo Aahu Barah, un sela basmati dell’Himalaya pakistano, intanto mi accontento di questo prodotto eccellente.

In fact I think this is the best rice I have ever had.

Ottimo riso . Qualità prezzo davvero buona . Sapore buono .
