Premium Quality Rice from Dinajpur Fields

Having been cultivated in the fertile soils of Dinajpur, Chinigura Rice has a history of taste and purity. All grains are harvested and processed very carefully as to retain the natural aroma and texture of the grain. Chinigura, contrary to ordinary rice, possesses a special property to remain fluffy and moist at the same time, which allows it to be used in polao, biriyani, and payesh.

How to Identify the Real Chinigura Rice

Today not all rice with the name Chinigura is the original one. There are some special signs of the original Dinajpuri Chinigura. One, the grains are not long as basmati, but short, thin and somewhat broken. You will find a light sweet smell when you wash it even before cooking. And once cooked the rice remains fluffy, never sticky. When the grains appear over-polished, excessively long or un-aromatic, then it is unlikely to be the authentic Dinajpur Chinigura. When you buy JB Halal Food Japan, you will know that you are buying the original one that has been cultivated in the trusted fields of Bangladesh.

How to make this Aromatic Rice best?

To make the best out of Chinigura, it is always advisable to wash it very tenderly then cook it. In the case of polao, grains are sauted in ghee and then water is added that assists in trapping the fragrance. In the case of biriyani, the rice should be soaked after 20 minutes and then cooked, keeping in mind that the grains are not broken and the rice will be perfectly fluffy. Small care, big difference.
