Diwali with Riviana

Glowing diyas, colourful rangoli and the welcoming aroma of a feast taking shape. Diwali is a time to celebrate light, new beginnings and the joy of being together. And sharing a meal is a wonderful way to bring everyone closer.

Whether you’re cooking a treasured family recipe or adding something new to the table, Riviana Basmati Rice has a place in your Diwali celebrations. Grown in Pakistan, this long grain rice is non-stick and gluten free, making it a versatile addition to your festive menu. Its generous 5kg pack is ideal for preparing a feast to share with family and friends. Explore Riviana Basmati Rice available at Drakes.

Let rice take centre stage with a celebratory vegetable biryani, layered with warming spices. Prepare a colourful pulao with peas, carrots and cumin. Or keep things simple with basmati rice served alongside your favourite dhal, paneer or vegetable curry, giving every dish its moment at the table.

The preparations can be part of the celebration, too. Invite the family into the kitchen, share the stories behind your favourite dishes and let younger cooks lend a hand. These are the moments that help keep traditions alive, from one generation to the next.

As the lights come on and everyone gathers, bring out the serving bowls, pass around the favourites and settle in for good food and great company.

This Diwali, bring the family together to feast with Riviana.
