Tulaipanji Rice is an Indian aromatic rice grown mainly in the Raiganj subdivision of Uttar Dinajpur district and some pockets of Dakshin Dinajpur district, West Bengal. The aroma and quality of this rice variety are strongly associated with its native origin.
Tulaipanji is categorized as 'non-Basmati aromatic rice' and is traditionally grown without using any fertilizer in mid-land to high-land condition and preferably in jute harvested fields, after rainy season during the August–December period.
Tulaipanji has medium-long slender grain. Cooked rice is tasty, good in texture, bright in appearance, non-sticky and friable due to high amylose content. The rice is excellent for preparation of pulao, fried rice and biryani. Tulaipanji is also much appreciated for its pest resistance quality and can long upto one year.
