Basmati is the king of rice. It is famous not only for its very long, slim grain but also for its aroma. The species was originally brought from Afghanistan and planted in the hills of Dehra Dun, to the North-West of Delhi. It is particularly used for making special rice dishes like biryani, pulao or fried rice.
Tilda is known worldwide for its pure and fragrant Basmati Rice. Like a fine wine, Pure Basmati Rice cannot be created artificially. It is tended and harvested by hand in an area with unique soil and climatic characteristics that give the rice its exquisitely delicate aroma, texture and taste. Its distinct taste and fluffy grains are used ideally everyday in pulaos and biryanis.
