In general, Arwa is what we get in the market, also called "kachcha chawal", or "atap" when we ask for basmati rice - the particular product in discussion therefore is RAW RICE. Although I have never checked for this "type of rice" on the packaging specifically, what I understand by usna is also available in the market as pakka chawal, or boiled, or parboiled rice, which is never this type of BASMATI. This type of rice is ideal for cooking steamed rice.

Longer Than My Weekend Plans – And Way More Satisfying

India Gate Basmati Rice is so long-grained and fragrant, I felt like I was cooking royalty-level biryani. The grains are so perfect, they almost lined up like soldiers in the pot. Fluffy, non-sticky, and aromatic enough to make the neighbors "accidentally" drop by at lunchtime. Honestly, this rice has more consistency than my diet. Whether it’s pulao, biryani, or plain with dal—it nails it every time. 5 stars for making me feel like a pro chef with just one pot!
