00:00Do you know that the ingredients in the market are adulterated many times?

00:21To make a good dish a great dish, one of the most important aspects are the ingredients.

00:27And in today's time, there is a lot of adulteration in the ingredients.

00:32Today I want to know that how are Indians buying ingredients in India and how are they knowing that the ingredients are right?

00:59So both of you tell me, what is your favorite dish?

01:02Actually, the first thing I wanted to learn was Biryani.

01:05I have never forgotten my mother's Sunday Biryani and the taste of her hands.

01:09Wow! And what is your favorite?

01:10I have learned it from your channel.

01:12But when I go to start prep, I don't understand more than half of the ingredients.

01:16So how do you order online?

01:17Yes, you have to order online.

01:19Do you order or buy? Where do you buy?

01:21I like to buy ingredients from the market because here you get so many options to choose from.

01:25I also enjoy going to the market and shopping because there are so many varieties.

01:30But do you know that the ingredients that are available in the market are adulterated many times?

01:37I agree, chef.

01:38There is a lot of adulteration and we have to be attentive not only for ourselves but also for our family.

01:43Absolutely.

01:43Now that we have come to the market, there is a shop there.

01:46Let's go inside the shop and see.

01:47Then we will get an idea about it.

01:51Do you know how many varieties of Basmati rice are there?

01:54There is only one rice.

01:55There are 33 varieties of Basmati rice.

01:58I personally use two varieties the most in my kitchen.

02:01One is Pusa 1121 and the other is Pusa 1401.

02:04And when you buy Basmati rice, how do you mix it?

02:09Low quality rice is mixed.

02:13For example, Sugandha or Sharbati rice is mixed.

02:17Then it is blended and sold.

02:18So how do we make sure that we use the right quality rice?

02:21When you buy open rice, you need a little experience or else you won't understand whether it has been adulterated or not.

02:28If you follow those parameters, only then you will be able to label Basmati rice.

02:52Who has the time to see these 19 parameters?

02:55Actually, people don't have time.

02:58But I have a solution.

03:00Let's go.

03:00So I completely understand that when you buy Basmati rice, there can be a lot of confusion about which one to buy and how to buy it.

03:08So the easy solution is to buy packaged Basmati rice.

03:12And this brand, India Gate, follows all the Basmati rice standards.

03:20And according to those parameters, the best quality Basmati rice is packed.

03:24And then you don't have to worry about whether you have taken open rice, whether it has been adulterated or not.

03:32There will be no adulteration in this.

03:33So we talked so much about Basmati rice.

03:36And I remembered that when my grandmother or my father used to make Rajma rice or Matar Pulao in my kitchen,

03:45especially in our house, we used to make Matar Pulao with onions and cumin seeds.

03:49And the aroma of Basmati rice that used to come to the whole house, I still remember that as a very vivid memory.

03:56And even today, when Basmati rice is being cooked at home, any dish is being cooked, it is fun and you get hungry from there.

04:03And I am also hungry now.

04:04Are you guys hungry?

04:05I am also hungry.

04:07Should we eat biryani?

04:08We are talking about biryani.

04:09It's your own kitchen, so let's go.

04:11Come on, I'll feed you biryani today.
