Product Overview
Murgh Marka Rice is a specialized, medium-grain non-Basmati variety cultivated and processed for optimal performance in rich, gravy-based dishes. Named for its traditional use in chicken marka and other kormas, it is engineered to absorb flavors while maintaining structural integrity. Sourced from dedicated paddies and made available through Zabzi Mandi Burewala, it is a staple for specific culinary applications across Pakistan.
Key Features & Benefits
Features a plump, short-to-medium grain with a high starch content. Its key benefit is superior absorption capacity, allowing it to soak up rich broths, spices, and oils without becoming mushy. It provides a satisfying, cohesive texture that complements saucy dishes, unlike the separate grains preferred in biryani or pulao.
Composition
100% pure, non-Basmati white rice (Oryza sativa), selected for its high amylopectin (sticky starch) content. It is typically unparboiled (raw) to maximize its starch availability and absorption potential, though a lightly parboiled variant may be offered for enhanced grain stability.
Calories & Nutrition
Per 50-gram uncooked serving (a typical portion for gravy dishes): approximately 180 calories. It is a dense source of carbohydrates, providing quick-release energy. It contains trace amounts of protein and is naturally fat-free, serving as an efficient calorie base for nutrient-rich curries.
Digestion Process
As a non-parboiled, starchy variety, it has a high Glycemic Index (GI), leading to rapid digestion and a quick conversion to glucose. This provides immediate energy, making it a suitable pairing with protein- and fat-rich meat and gravy dishes commonly consumed in Pakistani cuisine.
Cooking Method
Best prepared using the pulao method or directly within the curry base. Use a 1:1.5 to 1:2 rice-to-liquid (water or broth) ratio. It can be simmered directly in the prepared marka gravy on low heat (dum) for 15-20 minutes until the liquid is fully absorbed and the grains are tender yet distinct.
Customer Benefits
The ideal choice for homestyle murgh cholay ka salan, beef korma, yakhni pulao, and other traditional dishes where rice is meant to be served with and absorb generous gravy. It offers a comforting, hearty texture that holds the flavor of the dish in every bite, reducing sauce wastage.
