    MUMBAI: Rice has never read so well. AWL Agri Business Limited has served up Qisse kuchh khaas, a coffee table book that celebrates the aroma, allure and ageless appeal of Basmati rice.

    The glossy volume was unveiled at World Food India 2025 in New Delhi by food processing minister Chirag Paswan and AWL managing director Angshu Mallick, in the presence of celebrity chef Kunal Kapur. Authored by padma shri awardee Pushpesh Pant, the book stirs up stories from royal banquets to modest kitchen tables, tracing Basmati’s journey as India’s most prized grain.

    Kohinoor, AWL’s flagship rice brand, has long been synonymous with fine Basmati. With this book, it goes beyond the plate to capture the grain’s role in shaping traditions, festivals and family feasts. Readers can also dig into 15 recipes showcasing the versatility of Basmati, from rich biryanis to everyday fare.
