Rice is one of the main crop of Assam. Scented or Aromatic rice, a unique class of rice grown as winter rice in Assam is very popular and highly valued due to its quality, palatability and it’s popularly known as Joha rice. Known for its flavor and is an indispensable dish during festival time. High carbs, albumin, and globulin contents make the Joha rice a suitable nutritious cereal grain. Due to its small grain size and high aromatic value is best suited for the preparation of Payas (Kheer) or Rice Pudding. It is also consumed as Plain Boiled Rice and as Pulao (flavored fried rice) giving an extra flavor to the cuisine.
