Sitara is a brand often associated with premium quality, long-grain Basmati rice, typically sourced from regions in India or Pakistan. Basmati rice is prized for its distinct aroma, fluffy texture, and the way the grains elongate significantly when cooked.
If you are planning to cook with this specific rice, here is what makes it unique:
Aroma: It has a nutty, popcorn-like fragrance (the word "Basmati" literally means "fragrant" in Hindi).
Texture: Unlike jasmine or sushi rice, Basmati grains should remain separate and non-sticky after cooking.
Aging: Many premium brands like Sitara age their rice for 12–24 months to enhance the flavor and reduce moisture content, which prevents the grains from breaking
To get the best results from Sitara Basmati rice:
Rinse: Wash the rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess surface starch.
Soak: Soak the grains for 20–30 minutes before cooking. This allows the grains to absorb water evenly, preventing them from breaking during the boil.
Ratio: Use a standard ratio of 1 cup of rice to 1.5 or 2 cups of water, depending on whether you prefer a firmer or softer bite.
