Sella (parboiled) basmati rice

Also called: Bariis basmati sella (Soomaali) · Riz basmati sella (étuvé) (Français) · أرز بسمتي سيلا (العربية)

Good to know

Sella basmati is parboiled, so the grains stay firm and separate and don’t turn mushy, but it needs longer soaking and cooking than regular basmati. Look for ‘sella’ on the bag at Somali, Indian or Middle Eastern grocers.
