How is Sona Masoori Raw Rice processed?
Raw processing gives the softest and most aromatic cook of any processing type, best when the dish is served straight away. At the mill the sequence is:
- Paddy is cleaned and dried to a stable milling moisture.
- The husk is removed in a rubber-roll sheller, leaving brown rice.
- The bran is polished off in stages to an even white surface.
- The rice is graded by length and sortex colour-sorted to remove discoloured grains.
- Every lot is tested for moisture, broken percentage and grain length before packing.

Raw Pusa Basmati gives a genuine Basmati aroma and soft cook at a keener price than 1121, which makes it the everyday Basmati for many retail brands in India and abroad.
