Re: Biryani Questions
I think seela chawal in english is called Parboiled rice. here is what i found online:
IT IS A RICE WHICH IS MILLED DIFFERENTLY THAN OTHER RICE, I.E THE PADDY IS STEAMED AND THEN DRIED FOR MILLING, THE YELLOW COLOR IT ADAPTS IS BECAUSE OF THIS PROCESS.
now you can take different kind of rice paddy, i.e basmati, or non basmati and procees them to make a sella rice. for its unique color, it is widely used in preparing pulao, Biryani.
What i like about seela rice is that the grains never stick to each other or get soggy like sometimes regular basmati rice does.
