Tilda Grand Extra Long represents the pinnacle of basmati excellence, sourced exclusively from the Himalayan foothills where the finest rice grows. This premium 10kg bulk pack delivers grains that stretch to nearly double their cooked length, creating that sought-after restaurant presentation your family will notice immediately. The extended aging process develops a distinctive nutty undertone while ensuring each grain remains wonderfully separate—no sticky clumps, just pure fluffy perfection. Whether you're layering a celebratory biryani or serving alongside your signature curry, this Grand variety transforms ordinary meals into memorable dining experiences. The generous 10kg format suits larger families brilliantly, reducing shopping trips while maintaining peak freshness when stored properly in an airtight container.
This premium rice shines brightest during special celebrations—think wedding feasts, Eid gatherings, Diwali dinners, or Sunday family biryanis where presentation matters as much as taste. The extra-long grains create that professional restaurant look that makes guests ask for your secret. It's equally brilliant for weeknight curries when you want to elevate a simple meal, or for meal prep sessions where you're cooking in larger quantities. The 10kg size means you're always prepared, whether hosting unexpected guests or simply enjoying quality rice throughout the month.
Rinse thoroughly under cold water until it runs clear—this removes excess starch and ensures maximum fluffiness. Soak for 25-30 minutes to allow grains to hydrate fully. Use a 1:1.75 ratio (one cup rice to 1.75 cups water) for perfectly cooked results. Bring to a rolling boil, then immediately reduce to the lowest heat, cover tightly, and let steam undisturbed for 10-12 minutes. Remove from heat and rest covered for 5 minutes before fluffing gently with a fork. The grains will have expanded beautifully, each one distinct and aromatic.
Transfer to an airtight container immediately after opening to preserve the delicate aroma and prevent moisture absorption. Store in a cool, dry cupboard away from strong-smelling foods, as basmati readily absorbs surrounding odours. The 10kg quantity stays fresh for months when properly sealed, though most families find it disappears much faster once they experience the quality difference. Consider decanting into smaller containers for daily use while keeping the bulk supply sealed.
