It is recommended to store basmati rice, brown or white, in airtight containers. The cooking time of both brown and white basmati rice varies greatly as the bran layer on brown rice takes longer to cook. Some companies like Daawat use a technology called Hydration Enhancement Technology (HET) to hydrate the bran layer, significantly reducing the cooking time of brown rice. Indeed, the name Daawat has now become synonymous with high-quality basmati rice. They offer their customers a range of products based on white basmati and wholemeal basmati rice. Since basmati is more expensive than other rice varieties, Daawat has formulated several variations of white and brown basmati rice. The size and quality of the basmati rice grain differ in different varieties. Some of the cheap variations of Daawat white basmati include Daawat Tibar, Daawat Dubar, Daawat Rozana and so on. As mentioned, their "Quick Cooking Brown Basmati Rice" is very popular as it uses Hydration Enhancement Technology (HET) to hydrate the bran layer, thus reducing the cooking time of Daawat Brown Basmati Rice.
