It is time to start dusting off the air; the lights are being hung, and the same electric buzz of anticipation is already taking hold—it can only be the start of the festive season! This year, we at Oscar think this is not about fireworks and greetings but rather about bringing all our loved ones around a table that is filled with food that will tell a story. And do you not think that the most important part of any great Indian meal is, nearly always, that great, aromatic mass of perfectly cooked extra long Basmati rice?
We are of the opinion that great things begin with great ingredients. That is why we are so enthusiastic to make sure that each grain of Oscar Basmati chawal, which has been supported by the assurance of quality of Kuber Agro, is not less than perfection once it arrives in your kitchen. With hours of planning the menu, marinating the mains, and putting them on the table just the way you like it, you should not worry about the rice, as that is bound to be a sure hit.
To assist you in making your celebrations this year really special, we are giving you our most exalted festive recipes, which really shine when combined with the unmatched quality of our Oscar Basmati. Prepare to make your house smell of something that will make your neighbors knock on your door!
We are aware of the variety of rice that is available in the market; however, at least when it comes to festivals, there is no compromise possible. These are special events; they are synonymous with purity, plenty, and good fortune, particularly on occasions like Diwali. That symbolism goes as far as the food that we prepare and serve. Cooking with high-quality platinum basmati chawal, such as Oscar Basmati by Kuber Agro, will guarantee that your food has that taste of the real, sophisticated, and festive flavor.
Why is Oscar Basmati rice the most ideal option? It’s simple. Our grains are aged until perfect, i.e., they soak flavors to perfection and do not become sticky or clumpy. The grains become long as well when cooked and become light and fluffy, giving out a fragrant air so natural, so decidedly intoxicating, that it is frankly intoxicating. When you cook, Oscar, you are not only cooking rice, you are casting spells over your food. The feel, the flavor, and the smell will make the experience of the diner one that is really high-end. We have already dealt with that quality, and you can find nothing to worry about but the happiness of cooking and celebration.
Now for the main event! These are just three recipes of gold aromatic Basmati Rice, which are part of the celebration menus in the world and are made to demonstrate the finest attribute of Oscar Basmati chawal.
A festival without biryani? We don’t think so! Biryani is not a food but a declaration. It is either a rich, layered Mutton Biryani, or tasty, spiced-up Vegetable Biryani but the chef secret rice is the determinant of all that.
What You Will Need (Key Ingredients): Oscar gold Basmati rice (soaked 30 minutes), your desired source of protein (chicken, mutton, or mixed vegetables), fresh curd/yogurt, mint, cilantro, saffron milk, bay leaves, cardamom pods, and a good pinch of whole spices.
Our Tip of Perfection: It is we who are ever to recommend the Drain and Dum. When your Oscar gluten free Basmati rice is cooked to approximately 70 percent preparedness, then you can layer it with your marinated fillings, in turn. Pour the saffron milk, sprinkle with the fresh herbs, close the pot with a piece of dough or a tight lid, and cook the pot over dum (low heat). The method enables the chef secret rice to cook in the steam and fragrances of the curry, which makes the grains remain separate yet highly flavorful. It is the key to the old-fashioned fluffy-but-moist consistency we all desire. This flagship of all festive recipes will be your trademark.
Kheer always comes first in the list when we are discussing traditional Diwali recipes. This is a creamy, luxurious platinum Basmati rice pudding, which contains good omens of a good start and good fortune. It is a good, warming, heavy supper.
What You’ll Need (Key Ingredients): 1/4 cup of Oscar Basmati premium rice, 1 liter of full-cream milk, sugar (to taste), a generous pinch of saffron strands, cardamom powder, and mixed nuts (almonds, pistachios, and cashews).
Our Perfection Tip: To achieve the most natural creamy Kheer, you shall have to wait. Quickly broken or crushed grains of Oscar Basmati premium rice are to be used in order to get a more rapid and thicker result. The important thing here is to go through a gradual reduction of the milk. Cook rice and milk at low heat, stirring frequently until the milk has almost been cooked and has attained a luscious, thick consistency. The rice will be tinted with the gorgeous golden color and sweet smell of the saffron. This is not a process to hurry through; it is the gradual cooking that makes simple ingredients turn into this royal dessert. Heavily garnish with slivered nuts, and serve hot or cold. It has been a winner with us!
There are those times that you require a side dish that is fancy, not too fussy, and most importantly, very aromatic, one that goes hand in hand with richer curries but does not overshadow them. There comes a plain, well-cooked Saffron Pulao. It is a lighter version of a heavy biryani and an excellent one out of the diversity of Oscar daily Basmati rice.
What You Will Need (Ingredients): Oscar super Basmati chawal, a handful of strands of saffron steeped in warm water, ghee, cumin seeds, green peas (you can omit them), and salt.
Our Seasoning Ideal: The secret of a wonderful pulao is moderation and sobriety. To begin with, the rinsed Oscar Basmati rice grains are to be lightly toasted in ghee together with the cumin seeds. This step is used to close the grain and make the rice nuttier. Second, a precise ratio of rice to water must be used. In the case of our Basmati chawal, we suggest the ratio of 1:1.5 (1 cup rice to 1.5 cups water). The saffron mixture should be added in the end. The end product must be beautiful, fluffy, and white rice with golden and saffron-rich pockets. It is easy and visually appealing, as well as providing a fantastic aromatic punch to the table among the festive recipes.
We put our love, history, and customs into every pot when we celebrate—we don’t just cook. The language we use to express concern and strengthen family bonds is food. Selecting Oscar classic Basmati rice lets all of your other ingredients shine since it is a foundation of quality and heritage, proudly supplied to you by Kuber Agro.
We invite you to try one of these traditional Basmati rice recipes this holiday season. We are sure that Oscar Basmati’s unmatched scent and superb texture will make your celebration meal a treasured, lifelong memory. Now is your moment to shine in the kitchen, and we’ll be here to support you with each mouthwatering morsel! From all of us, happy holidays and pleasant cooking!
