Katarni Rice

Katarni rice is a premium, aromatic variety of traditional rice primarily grown in the northern regions of Bihar, India, especially in the Muzaffarpur district. Known for its unique fragrance, soft texture, and distinct taste, Katarni rice is highly prized and often used in special dishes like pulao and biryani. It is characterized by its short grains and natural aroma, which is considered superior to many other rice varieties. Katarni rice is cultivated using traditional methods and is appreciated for its quality, though it is less widely produced, making it relatively rare and more expensive compared to common rice types.
