- Slim and well-developed grains;
- Unique aroma;

- Chicken and mutton biryani
- Vegetable biryani
- Hyderabadi style biryani

The secret lies in cooking the rice carefully without much stirring.
How to Cook Premium Basmati Rice
Cooking excellent basmati rice does not need to be complicated.
The first step is to wash the rice carefully so as to reduce the extra starch in the grains. If soaking is recommended for the particular method of cooking and product, let it soak.
For the stovetop preparation of LAMA Rice, 1 cup of soaked rice requires about 1.75 cups of water. In case no soaking of the rice takes place, there may need to be a little extra water. The required water and cooking time differ from one product to another; hence, one should always consult the cooking instructions on the packet of LAMA Rice.
After the cooking process has begun, avoid lifting the lid and stirring of the rice. After the cooking process is completed, let it stay for some time before lightly fluffing.
This will give you the separated and fluffy grains typical of Basmati.
