About Gobindobhog rice

Gobindobhog rice is a short-grain aromatic rice traditionally associated with West Bengal, India. The uncooked grains are small and pale, and are known for a delicate fragrance; cooked grains tend to be soft and cohesive rather than long and separate.

It is used in regional sweet and savoury preparations and can be cooked as rice or in dishes where its aroma and texture are valued. It is sold as whole rice, while milling and storage can affect its aroma and cooking behaviour. The name identifies a particular rice type, not rice flour or a prepared dish.
