Rice (Chawal) — Grades for Every Pot

Basmati, sella, tota and pona grades at AkBaat — which chawal suits biryani, daily salan and kheer, with washing and storage sense.

Rice at AkBaat is sold in honest 1kg grades rather than fancy bags — pick by dish, not by label.

The Grades

Basmati — the aroma grain for biryani and pulao. Sella — parboiled basmati; overcook-resistant, the caterer's choice. Double stem — a premium daily grade. Tota / pona — broken and mid grades for everyday salan-chawal and kheer, where grain length doesn't matter but price does.

Matching Grade to Pot

Biryani and guests: basmati or sella. Daily plate: tota/pona saves real rupees over a month. Kheer: broken grades actually cook down better.

Store in the bag inside an airtight bin; a dried red chilli in the bin is the traditional weevil deterrent that works.

Frequently Asked Questions

Biryani ke liye kaunsa chawal?
Basmati or sella — long grains that stay separate. Sella (parboiled) forgives overcooking, which makes it the dawat insurance policy. Daily salan-chawal runs happily on tota or pona at a lower price.
Chawal kitna dhona chahiye?
Rinse until the water runs clear — three to four changes — then soak 20-30 minutes. The soak lengthens grains and evens the cook; skipping it is why biryani rice breaks.
