 Finest Basmati RiceMay 01, 2009
By Tea Lover Mommy
We have been eating this rice for past 8 years and the rice has absolute consistent quality and texure every time we make it. We have been buying this from an ethnic store but now Amazon has the rice at even a better price. Would recommend soaking the rice for 30 min or so for best results.
This rice is grown in the foothills of Himalayas and is enriched with minerals and natural Aroma. We have cooked many dishes including some Tea Rice and they are to die for. We would highly recommend this brand of Rice for your entire family.

Fantastic Rice....Love it !Jan 28, 2010
By Dana

We've been buying Arya Basmati rice for years and prefer it over any of the other varieties we have tried. We are thrilled for it to be available on Amazon and even more to find out that it is the best selling rice on Amazon. It is perfectly aged, quite fragrant, not sticky and lends itself to countless recipes and culinary applications. This is one of those rice that one can eat plain, without any seasoning or additional flavorings.
We do not agree with the previous reviewer about the bag and packaging. All major Basmati brands come in this kind of packaging to avoid infestation by providing oxygen, cost of material, ease of storage and of course recycling of the bags to save natural resources. Plastic containers on the other hand pollute our system and add price without adding any value to the rice. The true Basmati rice is aged for a min 1 year to give a full flavor of aroma when cooked and they are stored in such bags, only in large quantities.
Basmati can be cooked in many different ways with many many different dishes. One of our favorite and quick recipe for Basmati rice is below.
Recipe for Peas Pulao:
Ingredients
2 cups water
2 tablespoon oil
1 cup Basmati rice
1/4 cup frozen green peas
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
Salt to taste
Directions
Sauté cumin seeds in oil using a saucepan, until light brown.
Add rice, peas, water to the saucepan and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 12 minutes.
When rice is cooked, stir gently to fluff it up. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.

Best Basmati RiceNov 20, 2009
By Uncle Tom "the traveler"
We have tried several Basmati Rice over the years and finally settled on this brand. It really has full length grain and gives the aroma of a true basmati as it should. Most of the other brands we have tried are either blended rice or not real Basmati at all and were still called Basmati. It is on our regular buy cycle from Amazon. We highly recommend everyone to try it.
The basmati rice should only be judged after it is cooked and tasted. We love the fact that this rice is packed in a jute bag which is bio-degradable and not packaged in some fancy plastic box or other material with is not good for our environment. The rice should be washed before it is cooked and soaked for 20-30 minutes for the best results after cooking. Amazon also sells a 2 lb version of this same rice but we like the 10 lb version as it is better price per oz and we consume a whole lot of rice.
Update: August 14, 2010
Still the same wonderful product and the same aromatic flavor of this perfect rice.

 Aroma overpowered by bag, rice staleApr 05, 2010
By Robert E. Waugh
"lover of puppets"
I should have listened to the negative reviews, but I thought they had experienced a fluke... perhaps the bags ruptured during transport and caused the problems they reported? Surely the positive reviews outweighed the negative. Well, my bag arrived intact and undamaged but the inner bag was, as stated by others, unsealed and exposed to the air. This might have been good rice when it originally shipped from the vendor, but by time it left the distribution center and arrived at my door the rice was stale, tainted by the odor of the bag, and inedible by my standards. I eat rice every day, but I will not be eating this rice.

Best Basmati Rice on the MarketJan 28, 2010
By M. Charmani
"MJ"
You'll love this best tasting rice on the market. Don't forget to wash the rice before you put it in your rice cooker or if you prefer to boil and strain it. It makes a difference. We also soak the rice for minimum 30 mins before cooking and be sure to add a tablespoon ofolive oil (Veg oil also ok) . The rice comes out outstanding and a real treat to eat. Buy this or the 2lb package they have to try it. Must try it to see the real difference.
