The Secret Ingredient Why Do All Dadis and Nanis Believe in Aged Basmati Rice
                     The Secret Ingredient: Why Do All Dadis and 
Nanis Believe in Aged Basmati Rice?
You have that unmistakable aroma of the same whenever you have stood in 
an Indian kitchen with a biryani pot being “dum” cooked. It is a smell that 
characterizes the family holiday and Sunday afternoons. But when you 
inquire of any grandmother about her secret, she will not merely begin to 
talk of the saffron or of the spices. She will inform you that the secret of a 
great biryani is in one particular ingredient: older-day basmati rice.
At Kuber Agro, the mother company of Oscar Basmati Rice, it has taken us 
years to master the art of sourcing and aging grains. We have come to 
know that our grandmums were not being traditional; they were being food 
scientists.
This is the reason why our Oscar Diamond basmati rice is the non-
negotiable option for the ideal biryani.
1. An Aroma That Fills the Home
Basmati is a literal translation of the word, which means “the fragrant one.” But that nutty smell, 
as a matter of fact, only gets better with time. As the rice grows older at Kuber Agro, the oils that 
are naturally present in the grain will mature and will have a deeper and more intricate smell. 
2. Absorbing the Flavors
Biryani is everything about the combination of meat, vegetables, and spices. Aged basmati rice is 
an absorber. The grains, being dry, are therefore thirsty for the juices and flavor of the yakhni or 
gravy. 
3. The Enchantment of the Long Grain
The behavior of aged basmati rice under the heat is one of the key factors that make this rice so 
popular. Rice becomes dry as it gets old. It may not make sense like it is a bad thing, but to the 
lovers of biryani, it is the holy grail.
4. No More Sticky Situations
A mushy biryani is the most heartbreaking thing. Rice that has just been harvested has a lot of 
moisture and active starches that stick together. Grandmammas insist on using aged basmati rice 
since old age automatically lowers the level of starch in it.
