    C class, you can get superior quality only from Indian groceries stores.

    not sure. we eat it so I guess its alright? don't know what to expect from higher quality basmati. don't like basmati much anyway, we mix it with long grain to make it more palatable. we Asians used to jasmine and long grain

  India gate basmati is best to me. Price of India gate is approx 18$/5kg. The Coles one should be 5$/5kg because same grade basmati rice is available in the Indian stores at about 9$/5kg.

  I used this rice before it's not that bad, but not going to be a long grain.
  Would rate it as 6 out 10.
  I normally buy rice from Lebanese shops as that's the cheapest place to get rice and spices I found. My local Lebanese or middle eastern shops has best deal for Taj Premium Basmati Rice range. It's $9 for 5Kg. and I would rate as 9 out of 10. And its better than the India gate for sure.
  The rice I'm talking about is this - http://www.tajfoodsales.com.au/taj-premium-basmati.html

  This is bad Basmati Rice. We use it for making Rice paste.

  what is the difference from Thailand Jasmine Rice? the Jasmine Rice costs similar or even more than this…

  Pretty sure this is Pakistani rice which seems to be lower quality than the Indian equivalent. Or so my Indian friend tells me (as they would).

    I can confirm this is Pakistani rice. It certainly is way inferior to all known Indian brands. We normally have India Gate. I tried this yesterday. The rice is missing the aroma of Basmati.
