Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Should I wash Laxmi Extra Long Basmati Rice before cooking?
A: Yes, rinse it two or three times to remove surface starch, then soak for about 30 minutes so the grains lengthen evenly.
Q: How do I cook pulao for a large party?
A: Cook in batches in a wide, heavy pot so the long grains are not crowded, and fluff gently with a fork before moving the rice to platters.
Q: How is extra long basmati different from regular basmati?
