## Features

- GOLDEN SELLA IS PARBOILED INDIAN BASMATI: Pride Of India Golden Sella Basmati Rice is an authentic parboiled basmati format with a naturally golden-toned appearance created through the Sella process, not through added coloring or turmeric. The only ingredient is rice. This format is especially suited to cooks who want extra-long, defined grains with a firm yet fluffy cooked structure for biryani, pilaf, pulao and other dishes where the rice itself plays an important role in both presentation and texture
- EXTRA-LONG 1121 BASMATI FROM INDIA: Made from 1121 Indian Basmati, this rice features the slender, extra-long grain profile prized for elegant rice dishes and premium presentation. The grains are grown and sourced from the northwestern foothills of the Himalayas in India, an authentic basmati-growing region, then parboiled, milled and aged in India before final packing in the USA. The 1121 identity is included here for shoppers who appreciate the grain variety without making the front title unnecessarily technical
- NATURALLY AGED FOR 2 YEARS: This Golden Sella Basmati is naturally aged for 2 years, allowing the rice to develop the aroma, grain structure and cooking character associated with premium aged basmati. Combined with the Sella parboiling process and extra-long grain profile, aging supports the defined, separate presentation that works especially well in layered biryani, pulao and pilaf. The result is a rice selected for shoppers who value authentic origin, grain quality and a polished finished dish
- FLUFFY, SEPARATE GRAINS THAT HOLD THEIR SHAPE: When properly prepared, the extra-long grains elongate during cooking and finish fluffy, distinct and low in stickiness, helping individual grains remain visually defined on the plate. That grain structure is especially valuable for biryani, pilaf, pulao and Persian-style rice, where the rice should remain recognizable instead of clumping together. Its firm but tender cooked texture also pairs naturally with curries, vegetables, lentils, grilled foods and richly seasoned sauces
- EASY STOVETOP PREPARATION WITH A 2:1 WATER RATIO: Give the rice a light rinse under cool water before cooking. A 20 to 30 minute soak is optional and can be used when you want especially even cooking and grain elongation. For the standard stovetop method, combine 1 cup rice with approximately 2 cups water, bring to a boil, cover and cook gently for about 25 to 30 minutes or until the liquid is absorbed and the grains are tender. Remove from heat, rest covered for about 5 to 10 minutes, then fluff gently with a fork
- RICE COOKER, INSTANT POT OR PRESSURE COOKER: Golden Sella can also be prepared with common kitchen appliances. For a rice cooker, begin with approximately 1 cup rinsed rice and 1 3/4 cups water, use the regular or white-rice setting, then rest for 5 to 10 minutes before fluffing. For an Instant Pot or electric pressure cooker, start with approximately 1 cup rice and 1 1/2 cups water, cook on High Pressure for about 4 minutes, then allow around 10 minutes of natural release. Adjust slightly as needed for your appliance and preferred firmness
- AROMATIC WITH A MILDLY NUTTY, DELICATELY SAVORY FLAVOR: Golden Sella Basmati brings more character to the plate than a neutral everyday rice. Its inviting basmati aroma is complemented by a mild nutty character and delicately savory flavor that pairs naturally with vegetables, lentils, chickpeas, meats, grilled foods and richly spiced curries. The flavor remains balanced enough to let the rest of the meal shine while still giving biryani, pilaf, pulao and simple rice sides the distinctive aromatic quality expected from authentic Indian basmati
- FOR BIRYANI, PILAF, PULAO, PERSIAN RICE & MORE: Use this Golden Sella where grain definition matters most. Its extra-long shape and separate cooked texture make it a natural fit for layered biryani, aromatic pulao, pilaf and Persian-style rice, while its firm grain structure also works beautifully for fried rice, seasoned rice, rice bowls and curry pairings. Whether you are preparing an elaborate meal for guests or a simple family dinner, the rice brings both presentation and flavor to the finished plate without limiting you to one cuisine
- 1.5 LB PANTRY JAR WITH APPROX. 16 SERVINGS: Each jar contains 24 oz / 1.5 lb / 680.3 g of Golden Sella Basmati Rice and provides approximately 16 servings based on a 1.5 oz / 42.5 g serving size. Each serving provides 155 calories, 2 g dietary fiber and 3.02 g protein. The transparent food-grade PET jar is reusable and resealable, with a BPA-free screw-top cap and inner freshness seal, giving smaller households and specialty-rice cooks a convenient alternative to storing a large bulk sack
- QUALITY-FIRST SOURCING FROM INDIA TO USA: Pride Of India prioritizes authentic origin, grain quality and culinary performance rather than simply sourcing the lowest-cost rice available. This 1121 Golden Sella Basmati is grown and sourced from India's northwestern Himalayan foothills, processed and naturally aged for 2 years in India, then packed at our Boston, USA facility. Pair it with Pride Of India lentils, chickpeas, Biryani Masala, Garam Masala and complementary spices for flavorful rice dishes and complete meals. Products sold separately
