Kohinoor Classic Gold is a premium long grain basmati rice, sourced from the fertile foothills of the Himalayas and naturally aged to deliver exceptional aroma, flavour, and grain length. Each grain scores more than 2+ on the elongation scale, growing considerably in length when cooked to produce a fluffy, well-separated finish that is consistently excellent. Whether you are preparing a celebration biryani or a simple weeknight dal, Kohinoor Classic Gold is the long grain basmati rice that delivers.

This is rice built for biryani. The grain stays separate during dum cooking, taking on the spiced liquid without losing its integrity. It works equally well as a simple steamed rice alongside a curry or dal, in a cold grain salad dressed with herbs and citrus, or as the base for a one-pan pilaf. Sourced from growers who have cultivated basmati for generations, and aged with care before it reaches you, Kohinoor Classic Gold is the extra-long grain basmati rice that earns its place at every table, for every occasion.

Whether you are cooking for a celebration or an ordinary evening, the result on your plate is always extraordinary.

What Makes Kohinoor Classic Gold Long Grain Basmati Rice Special

Extra Long Grain Basmati

Grains elongate to more than double their original length when cooked, giving you a visually striking, restaurant-quality result every time.

Naturally Aged Basmati Rice

Carefully aged before packaging to reduce moisture content, intensify aroma, and firm up grain structure for consistent, predictable cooking.

Grown in the mineral-rich soil of the Himalayan foothills, where cool mountain air and snow-fed waters produce conditions no other region can replicate.

Fluffy and Separate

Low starch content ensures each grain of long grain basmati rice stays distinct on the plate, never sticky, never clumped.

Aromatic Every Time

The signature floral, nutty fragrance of true aged basmati rice develops fully during cooking, filling your kitchen from the first minute.

Best Rice for Biryani and Beyond

Ideal for biryani, pulao, steamed rice, khichdi, rice salads, and everyday cooking across Indian and international cuisines.
