Overview

The grain nearly doubles in length in the pot and still comes out separate.

This is the Basmati behind biryani, kabsa and mandi across the Middle East.

1121 is an extra long grain aromatic Basmati. Uncooked it measures 8.30 to 8.35 mm; cooked it elongates further than any other variety we handle while staying firm and non sticky, which is why kitchens that serve Rice by the platter ask for it first.

Ours is grown under contract in Punjab, held in our own silos and milled to order. It is primarily imported by the Middle East, including the GCC countries, and by Europe, for biryani, fried Rice and pulao.

1121 is supplied white, steam, Sella, Golden Sella and brown. Parboiled 1121 is soaked, steamed and dried before milling, which sets the starch and gives a firmer grain, in the colour agreed in the contract from light to deep gold. White and steam 1121 keep more of the fresh aroma and cook softer.

Packing runs from 1 kg consumer bags to 50 kg bulk bags in jute, PP non woven, cotton, BOPP laminated, woven PP, LDPE, card box or jar packs. Every lot can be inspected before loading by SGS, Cotecna, BVQI or Eurofins where your contract asks for it, and quotations are given FOR, FOB Karachi, CIF or CNF.

Best suited to

  • Biryani, kabsa, mandi and pulao
  • Restaurant and catering kitchens
  • Retail packs across the GCC

Principal markets

The Middle East, including the GCC countries, and Europe.

We export under licence as a member of the Rice Exporters Association of Pakistan, the trade body that registers Rice exporters in the country.

1121 Basmati: what buyers ask us.

If your question is not here, send it with your requirement and we will answer it in the quotation.

Mainly the Middle East, including the GCC countries, and Europe. It is the Basmati chosen for biryani, fried Rice and pulao, where the length of the cooked grain is part of the dish.

Same paddy, different process. Golden Sella is parboiled before milling: the paddy is soaked, steamed and dried, which sets the starch and turns the grain golden. It holds its shape through long service. White 1121 keeps more of the fresh aroma and cooks softer.
