Golden Sella Rice Cooking Method
- Golden Sella rice is a premium variety of parboiled rice known for its golden color, strong grain structure, and excellent elongation after cooking.
It is widely used in traditional dishes such as biryani, pulao, and large-scale catering because the grains remain long, firm, and separate after cooking.
