Kohinoor Traditional Authentic Basmati Rice is sourced from the foothills of the Himalayas and naturally aged for 2 years before packing. The extra-long, extra-fine grains cook up fluffy and perfectly separate, carrying a warm nutty aroma that is the unmistakable signature of true authentic basmati rice. GI-certified and cultivated using traditional techniques refined over generations, it is the ideal choice for biryani, pulao, and every occasion that calls for rice done properly.

The grain stays separate during dum cooking, taking on the spiced liquid without losing its integrity. It works equally well as a simple steamed rice alongside a curry or dal, as the base for a fragrant pulao, or served plainly with a rich dal on a weeknight. Sourced from growers who have cultivated basmati for generations and aged with care before it reaches you, Kohinoor Traditional Authentic Basmati Rice earns its place at every table, for every occasion.

Aged for 2 years, every grain of Kohinoor Traditional Authentic Basmati Rice is longer, more fragrant, and more flavourful than the day it was harvested.

The natural ageing process is what sets it apart, moisture drawn out slowly, the grain firmed up, the aroma deepened into something genuinely exceptional. Whether cooking for a celebration or an ordinary evening, the result on your plate is always extraordinary.

Grown in the mineral-rich foothills of the Himalayas, where snow-fed waters and cool mountain air create conditions that produce GI-certified, authentic basmati rice found nowhere else in the world.

2-Year Natural Ageing

Aged in paddy for a full 2 years before packing. Ageing reduces moisture content, firms the grain structure, and deepens the aroma, making the difference between ordinary rice and authentic basmati rice more pronounced.
