Abu Kass Indian Mazza Basmati Rice (أبو كاس) is Indian basmati parboiled rice from the brand’s Mazza range, which Abu Kass describes as a creamy traditional Indian basmati for easier cooking and fluffy grains. Sourced from India, it has long, slender grains that cook up fluffy and non-sticky. Abu Kass is a Saudi rice brand whose story began in 1958.

What you get

How to cook

• Rinse – Rinse the rice 2–3 times in cold water until the water runs almost clear.
• Soak (optional) – Soak for 20–30 minutes for longer, more separate grains, then drain.
• Water – As a guide, about 1 cup of rice to 2–2½ cups of water, with a pinch of salt.
• Cook – Bring to the boil, then cover and simmer on a low heat for about 15–20 minutes until the water is absorbed. Sella (parboiled) rice usually needs a little more water and time than white basmati.
• Rest – Turn off the heat, keep covered for 5 minutes, then fluff gently with a fork.
• Pack instructions – Cooking times vary between crops – always follow the instructions printed on the bag.
