About this item

• EXTRA-LONG INDIAN GOLDEN SELLA BASMATI: Pride Of India Golden Basmati Rice brings together the distinctive identity of Indian basmati with the Golden Sella, or parboiled, style shoppers look for when grain length and cooked texture matter. The 3 lb jar contains aged extra-long basmati rice suited to biryani, pilaf, curries, fried rice and everyday meals, giving home cooks a versatile rice that goes beyond a basic side dish and keeps its premium Golden Basmati identity at the center.
• WHAT GOLDEN SELLA MEANS: “Sella” on this product identifies its parboiled basmati style, helping distinguish Golden Sella from standard white basmati before you even start cooking. This is a specific form of basmati chosen for dishes where long grains, separation and structure are especially desirable. It gives shoppers a clearer way to choose the right rice for layered dishes, pilaf-style meals and everyday cooking.
• AROMATIC FLAVOR WITH FLUFFY, SEPARATE GRAINS: Cooked grains become long, fluffy and well separated while holding their shape. The aromatic flavor and less-starchy eating experience make this Golden Basmati satisfying on its own and especially appealing in dishes where the rice should remain visually distinct. Serve it plain beside grilled chicken or vegetables, or make it the foundation of a more elaborate biryani, pilaf or Persian-style rice dish.
• COOK THREE WAYS WITH CONFIDENCE: Rinse well and soak for 15 to 20 minutes. Stovetop: use 2 cups water per 1 cup rice, cover and cook on low for about 15 to 20 minutes, then rest 5 to 10 minutes. Rice cooker: use the same 1:2 ratio on the standard white-rice setting. Instant Pot: use 1 1/4 cups water per 1 cup rice, High Pressure 6 minutes, then natural release 10 minutes.
• FROM BIRYANI & PILAF TO CURRIES, FRIED RICE & RICE BOWLS: Extra-long Golden Basmati deserves a place beyond special-occasion Indian cooking. Use it for chicken or vegetable biryani, pilaf, Persian-style rice, curry pairings, fried rice, grain bowls, grilled-protein sides and family dinners. Its aromatic character and long-grain presentation make it easy to move between traditional recipes and familiar American weeknight meals while still preserving the distinctive experience shoppers expect from basmati rice.
• FOR DISHES WHERE GRAIN SHAPE & SEPARATION MATTER: This Golden Sella Basmati is particularly relevant when the rice itself needs to remain visually distinct in the finished dish. Grains that hold their shape and work well for Persian rice, while the broader review summary highlights fluffy texture and pilaf suitability. That makes it a useful choice for layered rice dishes, festive platters and recipes where individual long grains contribute to both the look and the eating experience.
• LIGHT GOLDEN, BEAUTIFUL IN THE BOWL: The grains have a light golden appearance due to parboiling. Post cooling, the finished shade can vary with cooking method, seasonings and the dish being prepared. This Golden Basmati Rice is 100% natural, gluten-free and vegan.
• REUSABLE BPA-FREE PET PANTRY JAR: Packed in a sealed food-grade PET jar with an inner freshness seal and reusable, resealable screw-top lid. The clear 3 lb jar keeps the extra-long grains visible, is easy to store and scoop from, and should be kept tightly closed in a cool, dry place after opening.
