Sugandha Rice is a variety of aromatic rice known for its fragrance, flavor, and slender grains. While it is not classified as Basmati rice, it is still highly valued for its pleasant aroma and excellent cooking qualities. The name “Sugandha” translates to “fragrance” in Hindi, highlighting its defining characteristic. The term “Sella” indicates that the rice has undergone a parboiling process during preparation. In this process, the rice is partially cooked in its husk before milling, which helps it retain nutrients from the outer layers of the grain and gives it a golden or yellowish color. The parboiling process also makes the grains firm and separate when cooked, preventing them from sticking together. Sugandha Sella Rice typically features long, slender grains, similar to Basmati rice, with an average length ranging from 6.5 mm to 7.0 mm or even longer. One of its key attributes is its pleasant aroma, which, although not as intense as Basmati rice, still offers a nutty or floral scent that enhances the flavor of dishes. With its fragrant aroma, firm texture, and beautiful golden color, Sugandha Sella Rice is a popular choice for a variety of rice dishes, including biryani, pulao, and other rice-based recipes, making it a preferred option in both home kitchens and professional culinary settings.
