Laila Longer Basmati Rice, 10Kg

Laila Gold Basmati Rice is widely considered one of the best value-for-money premium rices on the market, particularly in the UK. It is the "top-tier" offering from the Laila brand, sitting above their standard blue-bag Basmati in terms of grain length and aging.Grain Quality: It features "Superior Extra Long" grains. When cooked correctly, the grains expand significantly and remain individual rather than clumping. ​For the best results with Laila Gold, soak the rice for 20–30 minutes before cooking. This allows the long grains to "relax" and expand to their maximum length without breaking during the boiling process. Well I'm converted. I don't buy any other rice anymore. Best rice in the market.

MY FIRST QUICK COOK TEST! Rice separates beautifully. See my Katsu fridge raid veg curry pic! For this quick testing to gauge it's initial performance , I simply used one chefs ladle of rice into a big saucepan, add running cold water and rinse a couple minutes. Fill pan with cold water, 1 inch from top of pan, salt water, stir with silicone spatula, lid on , high heat . Bring water to a rapid boil. Be around to catch boiling point . When rapidly boiling stir gently with spatula, TURN HEAT OFF. Put The Lid back On, time x4 minutes. After time , stir gently again, then drain in colander, let the rice rest for 15 minutes in the colander, put a lid on the colander, (anything to trap the residual steam of the hot rice , as that steam will finish it off cooking and aid perfect separation) You can cook a quick Katsu curry in that time. "Yes Chef!" 😀 It's the first time I used Katsu curry paste too. Easy quick. Very economical. (Bulk buy 10 packs) As pic shows , the rice has lovely separate grains , you do not need to nudge these rice grains around to separate ,they just get on with it themselves! I'll be buying more prime week. I'll also do a video when I next cook it at weekend. This does cost a few quid more but , if you like decent rice that performs , you of course deserve it. It's still excellent value and nutrition. 🙏 £16 for 10 kilo bag prime week, is a very good price for the quality you get. I intend to buy another 20 kilos this week. Thank you seller and Amazon. I'll be back. 🙏

This is the best Basmati I've tried, and I've tried a few, nice long grains and a lovely taste, and buying these large bags is exceptional value.
