Pusa Steam Basmati Rice is primarily grown in the Haryana and Punjab regions of India. Known for its versatility, it is ideal for a wide range of rice-based dishes, including biryani, pilaf, and other traditional Indian and international recipes. When purchasing Pusa Steam Basmati Rice or any Basmati variety, it is important to check for quality standards and certifications to ensure you are getting a premium product. Its distinct aroma, long grains, and exceptional cooking properties make it a popular choice in cuisines around the world.
The term “Steam” in Pusa Steam Basmati Rice refers to the steaming process the rice undergoes during preparation. This involves partially cooking the rice in its husk before milling, which helps enhance the aroma and makes the grains firmer and less sticky when cooked compared to traditional white Basmati rice. It is characterized by long, slender grains, typically ranging from 6.0 mm to 7.5 mm or longer. Like all Basmati varieties, it has a distinct nutty or floral aroma, which is further preserved and enhanced by the steaming process. The texture of Pusa Steam Basmati Rice is firm and non-sticky, making it ideal for dishes where separate, fluffy grains are preferred, such as biryani, pilaf, and other rice-based recipes.
