The Smart Basmati
Some rice makes every meal taste better. Mogra is India Gate's everyday short grain basmati - short grains from the same northwest Himalayan harvest as our premium range, delivering authentic basmati aroma and flavour at a value that makes sense for daily cooking.

Naturally aged for improved volume, fluffiness, and that distinctive basmati aroma that makes even simple recipes satisfying. Pearlescent white grains that cook without sticking. This pure basmati rice promises generous portions and good quality rice at a great value.

FAQs
Mogra is short grain basmati rice — from the same premium Himalayan harvest as whole-grain basmati. The aroma, flavour, and cooking character are unmistakably basmati. With 3.9x volume expansion and length, it delivers generous portions from every cup. For everyday meals where flavour and value matter, Mogra is the smart choice.
Basmati aroma comes from the grain variety and the aging process — not grain length. India Gate Mogra comes from the same northwest Himalayan harvest zone as our premium basmati, and it is naturally aged to develop that distinctive fragrance. The aging process is what delivers consistent superior taste and aroma in every meal.
Both are excellent everyday options. Daily Delight uses whole short grains — better visual appeal and texture, ideal for family meals where presentation matters. Mogra uses short grains — slightly softer texture, better suited for khichdi, curd rice, and dishes where grain length is less important. Both give 1 cup serves 5 value.
Yes — khichdi and curd rice are where Mogra excels. The short grain cooks soft and blends beautifully with dal or curd, creating the right texture for these dishes. For khichdi in particular, short grain is actually preferable to long grain because it produces a creamier, more cohesive result.
Mogra is made from short grain basmati that is priced more accessibly than premium long-grain varieties — even though the flavour, aroma, and origin are from the same Himalayan harvest. This is what makes Mogra the smart choice: genuine basmati character at everyday prices.
