Daawat Select is the everyday bag. Long grain, clean flavour, and it behaves predictably, which is the main thing you want from rice you cook several times a week.

The 5kg bag is the sensible buy if rice is on your table more often than not.

Rinse until the water runs clear, then cook it however you normally do. It suits curries, dal, biryani and pulao equally, and it is forgiving enough that you can walk away from the pot for a minute without ruining it.

Available at Curry Corner, North Melbourne.
