Tilda Golden Sella Basmati Rice

Description

Tilda Golden Sella Basmati Rice is parboiled before milling, which locks in flavour and keeps the long, slender grains firm and separate — even after sitting in a pot of jollof or biryani for a while. Tilda is one of the better-known basmati brands for a reason: consistent grain length and a fragrant aroma batch after batch.

How to cook

• Basic method: 1 cup rice to about 2 cups water, simmered 18-22 minutes — parboiled rice takes a little longer than regular white basmati.
• Rinse until the water runs clear, then cook covered on low heat.
• Let the pot rest 5 minutes off the heat before serving for fluffy, separated grains.

Storage

• Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container, away from moisture and pests.

Frequently asked

What does "golden sella" mean?

It refers to the parboiling process, which gives the grain its golden colour and firmer, non-sticky texture once cooked.

Is this good for jollof rice?

Yes — its firm texture holds up well to the long simmer and reheating that jollof rice often needs.
