I was in an Indian Grocery Store to buy groceries and wanted Dawat rice, and it was $26.95 and just thought of comparing the price and found the discount. Enjoy

Is this rice better than than cotton sack basmati they sell?
Yes, much better.
OK thanks I will go this one from now on. I don't suppose you know if it has a better GI count (lower) than the cotton boys? Or what do you base the comparison on. Taste and texture?
Regular price at Costco for 20kg
Can I confirm please. 20kg of the same product is $19 at Costco? Wow!
Multiply by 4 to make it 20kg
Thanks Op also if you redeem the save 15 on 40 spend and get 2 bags and any $2 item brings the total to $24 including the $2 item! Win Win!
Didnt see the save 15 on 40……
It was just under the price where you had to choose redeem. For me looks like it was a one time thing as I cannot see it any more..
Did you used any code to get that offer?
nice buying soyea!
Very nice rice this.

Vendaaaa
Manikya Kurachu Kanji Edukkatte?
is this same as daawat basmati at costco ?
I believe that Costco sell Chef's Secretz in the brown bag? Looking at this & this. If so, 'Chef's Secretz' is a less expensive variety, regular price $19.50 on Amazon, compared to this Select Variety, which is usually $27 at Coles/Amazon.
Although I think they are both good, perhaps someone else has a better opinion of the reason for the higher price.
The one from Amazon/Coles has a bit longer grains, whereas the Costco one has a bit shorter (comparatively) grains. Unless you are cooking Biriyani to impress someone, just go with the Costco one. You won't taste much difference between the two.
Thanks! Yeah I have just been buying Chef's Secretz for $19.50 at Amazon, or a dollar or 2 less from local grocers, unless the Classic is on special for $19.
How is this different to other basmati? $12 for 5kg at Coles
This is a far superior rice compared to the average daily ones. This is aged and long grain with good aroma. Trick is to soak it for 30 mins and water ratio of 1:1.5 water when cooking. Best for biryani’s in my experience similar to say India gate classic.
I love biryani! I'm sold
I assume you mean the ratio is by cup not weight.
the $12 for 5kg one shouldn't even be called basmati. Its the equivalent of "Genuine Leather"
nah its good enough for daily cooking where you are consuming the rice with curries. As @soyea said unless you are cooking biryani you don't need the more expensive ones
Looks like they had only 10 bags to sell :)
Yes, what you've linked to is a relatively cheaper variant which isn't as good as the one in the deal.
This is my regular go to. Very nice rice:
https://www.woolworths.com.au/shop/productdetails/16119/rivi…But for this price with delivery, its a no brainer. Shame deal didnt last long enough.
That rice is terrible
How does this compare to alishaan super basmati?
there is also another Daawat Basmati version for $15.90
https://www.amazon.com.au/Daawat-A1B322-Devaaya-Basmati-Rice…
Thx ordered this somehow there was a promotion applied and cost $14.90 delivered
I ordered 15kg of whatever Cole’s $13 is, but was out of stock so received this instead. Very happy
This is quite expensive. You can buy 20kgs of Basmati rice at Costco for around 50 dollars and according to my Asian mother, its good quality too.
Price matching Coles special, for those without prime / when Amazon sell out.
