Instructions
- Since parboiled rice is very hard and resists water absorption, soak in water for at least hours before cooking.
- Cook firmly taking time with more water than regular rice (or boil).
- When cooked, grains puff tight, possessing unique elasticity—flaky yet plump and chewy. Pair with Biryani or South Indian curries.

Trivia
[Hardcore] The 'parboiled' processing tech is ancient Indian wisdom. Steaming before milling transfers germ nutrition to the endosperm, boasting brown-rice-like nutrition despite being white rice. Tamil Nadu's parboiled 'Ponni Rice' is especially famous, the true identity of the yellow rice often encountered in South Indian diners.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Utilizing this 'plump' rice texture different from flaky Basmati, let it heavily absorb rich mutton curry juice, eating it by chewing thoroughly!
