href=\"https:\/\/chefonrhine.com\/home\/2020\/04\/04\/cooking-basmati-the-right-way\/\">BASMATI<\/a> rice. And that too the best quality available!<\/li><li>If youre using Sella rice considering its the easiest grain to handle, you need to figure out from which type of Basmati the Sella has been made. Remember, Sella is just a process of parboiling and can be done on any rice grain so that doesnt guarantee your Zarda to come out perfectly cooked RATHER the TYPE of rice youre using. Super Kernel Basmati (Sella or regular) is what you need!<\/li><li>The type of sugar youre using matters! Is it from sugar cane or beets or any other source? The sweetness defines how long you should boil your rice before adding sugar to it. Only use fine granulated sugar if you are following this method!<\/li><\/ul><p>This quick and super easy zarda recipe uses an easy method that results in a scrumptious, flavour-packed dish with very basic ingredients from your kitchen.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><h3>Looking For More Festive Recipes ?
