 I like the rice, it's the packaging they need to work on February 20, 2010
jalmquist
The rice is good. We've been eating Basmati rice for a long time, and before finding this on Amazon we've purchased all our rice at the local grocery store in those small single meal packages.
I read the reviews on here, so was aware of the packaging problem when I received my first order. Just as everyone had written, packaging was very poor. Due to the packaging issues, I decided to transfer the rice into a sealed container. I recommend doing this for any bulk product, since you'll want to seal anything you'll be storing for more than a week. However, even though I was aware of the packaging issues, I still accomplished to spill a couple ounces of rice all over the kitchen counter and floor. That's how poor the packaging is! It's almost as if someone was playing some trick on me, because I poored almost all the rice into the container and thought it went quite well. No real problems, so I figure these other people probably just happened to get a bad bag. So when I got down to the last couple ounces, I thought it would be easier to pull the plastic bag out (which is inside the mesh sack) and pour the remainder into the container. Guess what? A hole at the very BOTTOM of the plastic bag. Believe me when I say, a couple ounces of rice is a lot of work to clean up.
I must say, though, that after transferring the rice to the container, I smelled this wonderful aroma. I've never actually smelled the scent of rice before, and this was pleasant. The rice cooked just as well as any other rice we've prepared, and it had the same hint of taste as the aroma. Very good rice for our common Indian curriies and Thai stir fry dishes.
The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because of the packaging.
 Problem still not fixed February 16, 2010
D. Eaton
I read some reviews of poor packaging on this item. I thought by now the problem would have been addressed and corrected. Um... WRONG! The rice is contained within an open plastic bag inside the potato sack. When I opened it, only a portion of the plastic bag was closed while half of the opening was left open exposing the rice to the odor of the potato sack. Are you guessing that when you order the rice that maybe the problem will be fixed???... you might be right... and you might be wrong. Do you feel lucky?
 Excellent Quality Basmati Rice February 15, 2010
GaryBV (Pennsylvania, United States)
I think this rice is fantastic. I have not had any of the packaging problems some other people have mentioned (and I would not be happy if I did - I do hope that issue is resolved). Mine arrived fully intact and the rice itself is of the highest quality I have ever seen. This is a product from Pakistan as that is clearly marked on the bag I purchased. I use a little less water than is recommended by my rice cooker and it has always come out absolutely perfectly. Each rice kernal is separated and fluffy and perfect. Flavorful and aromatic. I just love it. I also highly recommend the Aroma ARC-856 rice cooker that is sold by Amazon.
Best Basmati Rice on the Market January 28, 2010

You'll love this best tasting rice on the market. Don't forget to wash the rice before you put it in your rice cooker or if you prefer to boil and strain it. It makes a difference. We also soak the rice for minimum 30 mins before cooking and be sure to add a tablespoon ofolive oil (Veg oil also ok) . The rice comes out outstanding and a real treat to eat. Buy this or the 2lb package they have to try it. Must try it to see the real difference.
Fantastic Rice....Love it ! January 28, 2010

We've been buying Arya Basmati rice for years and prefer it over any of the other varieties we have tried. We are thrilled for it to be available on Amazon and even more to find out that it is the best selling rice on Amazon. It is perfectly aged, quite fragrant, not sticky and lends itself to countless recipes and culinary applications. This is one of those rice that one can eat plain, without any seasoning or additional flavorings.
We do not agree with the previous reviewer about the bag and packaging. All major Basmati brands come in this kind of packaging to avoid infestation by providing oxygen, cost of material, ease of storage and of course recycling of the bags to save natural resources. Plastic containers on the other hand pollute our system and add price without adding any value to the rice. The true Basmati rice is aged for a min 1 year to give a full flavor of aroma when cooked and they are stored in such bags, only in large quantities.
Basmati can be cooked in many different ways with many many different dishes. One of our favorite and quick recipe for Basmati rice is below.
Recipe for Peas Pulao:
Ingredients
2 cups water
2 tablespoon oil
1 cup Basmati rice
1/4 cup frozen green peas
1/2 teaspoon cumin seeds
Salt to taste
Directions
Sauté cumin seeds in oil using a saucepan, until light brown.
Add rice, peas, water to the saucepan and stir. Reduce heat, cover and simmer for 12 minutes.
When rice is cooked, stir gently to fluff it up. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes.
