India Gate Premium sits a step above the Classic, with longer grains and a more pronounced aroma.

This is the bag for when the rice is on display. Biryani, pulao, anything served at the table in its own dish.

Rinse thoroughly, soak twenty minutes, then cook gently so the long grains do not break. Fluff with a fork. The extra length is the whole reason to pay the difference, so do not stir it to death.

Available at Curry Corner in North Melbourne.
