PR Rice, short for “Pusa Rice,” is a non-Basmati variety developed through agricultural research and breeding at the Pusa Institute of Technology in India. The term “Sella” indicates that the rice has undergone a parboiling process, where it is partially cooked in its husk before milling. This process helps the rice retain more nutrients from the outer layers and gives it a golden or yellowish color. It also makes the rice firm and separate when cooked. PR Sella Rice is known for its long, slender grains, typically measuring between 6.5 mm and 7.0 mm or longer. While it doesn’t have the strong fragrance of aromatic Basmati rice, it offers a mild and pleasant scent, making it a popular choice for various dishes.
PR Sella Rice has a firm and slightly sticky texture when cooked, with grains that retain moisture well, making it ideal for a variety of rice-based dishes. Thanks to the parboiling process, it cooks faster than regular white rice, typically taking around 15-20 minutes, depending on the cooking method. This rice is highly versatile and commonly used in Indian cuisine for dishes such as pulao, biryani, and plain steamed rice. Its excellent ability to absorb flavors makes it perfect for recipes where the rice should take on the taste of accompanying ingredients. Suitable for both traditional and modern cooking, PR Sella Rice pairs well with a wide range of ingredients and flavors, making it a popular choice in kitchens.
