Basmati Rice Deals & Offers

Tesco Haugh Shaw Rd, Halifax HX1 3TU Bit of a treck from where you are though and would be regarded as a unnecessary journey unless your name's Dominic Cummings :{

Which shop did you manage to get some in? We couldn't find any of this so tried Akash gold for £14 for 10kg and is really tasty.

£17

Picked up a bag of this from local Tesco, still had 2 bags of Laila green bag but wanted to try this one out. Wife was happy at the quality of it so happy days. What's the usual price of this? I've never spotted it before on the shelf.

none in the gateshead tesco extra :(

I booked for friday collection

Offer gone!!!

When I click on get deals it directs me to the sainsburys website and it's on for £13, so how do I get it for the above price?

Anyone lately ordered anything or no times left to book for few weeks upfront??? (skeptical)

No idea!

Yes that's right. It was posted on here as well, I think last week.

Is that in store only? Can't see it online

Kohinoor is a Indian company and Laila (this is the brand name) but company is Surya Foods in UK.

Kohinoor all the way for me at this price and current situation

I think they come from the same company. Home bargains also had Himalaya river in the blue bag 5kg for £6.50. First I’ve been able to get any basmati for 3 weeks. Also showing at £5.50 in Asda.

Huge stocks of everything in my local Tesco's. You have to queue 2 metres for say 15 minutes. Managed numbers inside the shop. It was quite a sane process. I quite like shopping this way.

My asda delivery rice got cancelled!

I miss rice 😔

Actually you’re talking nonsense. Cash and carry near me have inflated their prices on EVERYTHING exorbitantly. I’m boycotting it. I’ll go without thanks

What, why? I managed to find a slot next Friday and there's already nothing online at all. Should I fill the trolley to the max in hopes of actually getting something in the end?

Rice rice baby.

My local out of stock. If anyone want to pick up a few bags for me...I'll swap for 6 bog rolls.

the 5kg is on offer at Asda for £5, yep you spend a quid more but if its closer to some than Morrisons, still a good deal.

The better rice will all be separate and not sticky at all. Each grain will be long and be able to be picked up individually when cooked. The cheaper rice are often shorter, broken and a lot stickier which is not what you want for basmati rice.

Yeah but last time I mentioned it the hukdeals team deleted my comments :|

Let's get a complaining

Badshah all the way

Unfortunately my town isn’t ‘ethnic’ enough to stock these kind of deals ;(

Is this a good rice for cabening up?

Asda had a 10kg bag for £8 not sure what make

Does anyone know or seen any laila basmati rice 10kg in stock anywhere in London

I expect the 'shelfish' people will be buying 10 bags at a time. Lol. Just in case they have to stay in for 2 weeks.

Rice is gluten free... gluten free is present in wheat, barley, oats...

we buy this stuff now instead of tilda. But did it always used to be gluten free?

Has been ongoing for Bradford Tesco extra in Peel Centre for about a month now, heat added!

Did you get your order in the end? Maybe ring up customer services?

My delivery was cancelled then I reordered it again it was meant to be delivered 1 hour ago. No calls or emails to update me what's happening. I'm guessing they are cancelling all the orders

Ordered this online. 3 bags. They delivered today. 2 bags of Tilda 5kg and charged me £20 (£10 each). Don't know what the delivery team was thinking, 10 kgs for £20. If they didn't have Trophy, Tilda is fine but at least keep the quantity same?

I can't get a delivery or a collection in my area (annoyed)

Thanks

£15 now (annoyed)

Hyped up brand name. Look out for laila or badshah for best quality and aroma.

No way.

Same in Asda too.

I’m not too fussy about rice quality and it’s hard for me to tell the difference but it’s the only rice that smells like sweaty socks. It is darker than most basmati though, does this make it better quality?

Very low quality GM akash rice I would recommend laila or badshah rice for its quality and natural aroma.

Mo rice mo problems

I think the 10kg Laila basmati is £10 at Tesco at the mo too. They seems to have some good prices on rice at the mo. Hot :-)

Got a bag on the go. No worry this is nice rice for the price.

Great price! This is enough rice to last me the next 5 years. Thanks!

Asda same price

How does this compare to my usual badshah basmati rice. I don’t want to buy and then find that it is not as good, as it’s a pretty big bag to go through

Lesson in rice for you

As long as there is no offensive odour and the rice doesnt come out mushy then normally any basmati is a good rice to me. Being Asian and having to cook rice couple of times a week, I normally wash the rice last minute and stick the rice cooker on just before meals. However, when I leave my rice to soak for a while before rinsing and cooking (1-2 hours) my rice actually comes out fluffier and seems tastier. If you have the time, definitely give it a go and see the difference.

No Pakistan I'm pretty sure

Aroma to bring on appetite Best rice ever

Add garlic cloves to stave of the heebie jeebies that will try to take up residence.

Excellent value right here. Hot.

If you've got space to store it, then I'd definitely really recommend this. Nice long grains with a good texture.

You are right but doubt you will see it at that price point any more. Kohinoor long grain could be bought at Tesco for £11 but not now.

Rice this season from them has been top notch. I cook rice a lot and it's been excellent quality.

Was £11 a few months ago from tesco

Nice rice price 🍚

Bought for this price on Sunday. Heat.

i think you can merley spoon them off the scum at the top when water is boiling

It's a bit like worms in fresh cod you have to be carefull what you watch for

I don't have a Scooby, but more likely you are eating unhatched eggs. An Indian woman gave me this tip and I've not looked back. Interestingly, my mum and aunts used to pick through rice prior to cooking getting rid of who knows. I wash my rice thoroughly to eliminate starch and probably subconsciously 'who knows'.

Hi Monaco. Thanks for the tip assume that this prevents them eating their way out of the grains but the dead larvae or whatever must still be contained in the rice as dead protein and just not visible.

Poll thus far... 'Great' rice: 52% 'Rubbish' rice: 48% TBC

Gluten Free👎

Priced at £1 across the major brand stores.

I bought the Tilda Legends rice recently from an independent shop for £17. The grains are long and fluffy

Mental price. I love Tilda

Basmati was £1.39, long grain 99p, I bought both.

i am sure the one at home bargains is not basmati , which is the more expensive one

Tip some out. Will still be cheaper than buying small bags (strong)

£4 per kg! That isn't deal. Around £2 per kg is fair value. Cold.

Yes it is. Half price until the 29th October.

£2.37 for 1kg at Tesco.
