This type of rice allows customers to receive a product that precisely meets their needs based on various combinations and preferences, ensuring it aligns with their consumption scale. In this section, we introduce custom rice to customers, enabling them to make the best choice for their specific needs.
What to Consider When Choosing Rice for Restaurants
When selecting rice for restaurants and catering services, various factors are taken into account, which affect the final quality of the food as well as economic efficiency. One of the most important considerations is the type of rice, its quality, and its appearance. Different types of rice can impart varying flavors and textures to dishes. When choosing rice for use in restaurants, catering services, organizations, and even personal use, the costs should be in line with the available budget, while the rice should also have an appealing appearance with uniform and elongated grains. The price of rice must be acceptable within the business’s budget, and at the same time, the quality should not negatively impact the customer experience.

Storage Conditions for Custom Rice
To store custom rice properly and maintain its quality, follow these guidelines:
Storage Environment: Rice should be stored in a dry and cool environment. Ensure that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and is protected from moisture and water.
Storage Containers: Use containers or rice-specific packaging bags that can be tightly sealed to prevent moisture and air from entering.
Protection from Pests and Organic Materials: Ensure the rice is protected from pests and harmful organic materials. You can use caraway seeds, lemon peel, or curry leaves for this purpose.
Store at Appropriate Temperature: Rice should be stored at an appropriate temperature, with room temperature being the best option. High temperatures can alter the taste and texture of the rice.
Timely Use: Consume custom rice at the right time. Storing rice for extended periods can damage its quality and taste.
By following these guidelines, you can effectively store your custom rice and enjoy its flavor and quality.
Cooking Custom Rice
Custom rice can be cooked in two ways: “Kateh” and “Polow” (pilaf). Below are the steps for each method:
Cooking Custom Rice – Kateh Method
The first step in cooking custom rice is washing and soaking the rice. Like other Iranian rice varieties, wash the custom rice with cold or warm water and let it soak for at least 30 minutes. After soaking, place the rice in the desired pot and set it on the stove, adding salt and oil. Allow the rice to cook until all the water evaporates. Once the water has fully evaporated, reduce the heat and cover the pot with a steam cloth. Let the rice steam on low heat for 30 to 40 minutes. Once steamed, the rice is ready to be served.
Cooking Custom Rice – Polow (Pilaf) Method
Before cooking custom rice, wash it with cold or warm water and soak it for 30 minutes to ensure better cooking. Then, add water to the pot and heat it until it boils. Add the rice to the boiling water and cook for 7 to 11 minutes. To prevent the rice from sticking, add a spoonful of oil. Adding a little salt also enhances the flavor. Next, drain the rice. Place the drained rice in a pot greased with oil and butter. You can use bread or potatoes for the crispy bottom (tahdig). Cover the pot and let the rice steam on low heat for 30 to 40 minutes. Finally, add melted oil or butter to the rice and serve it in a dish.
