Boka Chaul

[1][2] It is a common and widely cultivated crop in the Lower Brahmaputra Valley Zone of Assam, encompassing the districts of Dhubri, Kokrajhar, Chirang, Bongaigaon, Goalpara, Barpeta, Nalbari, Baksa, Kamrup Rural, Kamrup Metropolitan, Darrang, and Udalguri falling in Lower Assam division.Soaking the kernels in cold water (at ambient temperature) is sufficient to prepare Boka chaul for consumption.Boka Chaul, often hailed as the "Magic Rice" is a unique variety renowned for its extraordinary property of requiring no cooking![7] This special rice, when soaked in lukewarm water for a few minutes, transforms into a soft, cooked rice-like texture.Boka Chaul, with significantly lower amylose levels compared to regular rice, becomes soft and easily digestible.
