Lal Qilla Sella Rice Basmathi 5Kg-Festival Rice

This is the first time I have bought this brand, as well as the first time I've bought Sella rice & I have been extremely pleased with it.

The grains are exceptionally long when cooked & the rice is aromatic & tasty.

After washing it, I soaked it in lukewarm water for 2 hours, as per the instructions.

As I was going to use a rice cooker to cook the rice, I was uncertain as to what ratio of water to rice to use.

With non-Sella basmati I use a ratio of 1 to 1 which is the recommendation for my rice cooker & that works perfectly, however with this Sella rice the recommendation from the manufacturer is much higher, up to 1 to 4.

As my rice cooker does not lose much water to evaporation when cooking, compared to cooking on a stovetop for example, I thought I try a 1 to 2 ratio.

This ratio worked perfectly in my rice cooker & the end result was excellent.
