Rice in Canada

After moving to Canada, I faced some problems with the new environment. In Bangladesh, I used to eat "Nazir shah" rice. This rice is slim (slimmer than Basmoti), long and tastes good. I couldn't find this rice in the store. Here, most of the rice is big and thick. In Bangladesh, poor people eat only that kind of rice because they don't have any other options.

So, in the beginning, I used to take Basmati rice regularly. Now, I slowly learnt how to eat those big, fat rice. Now I can eat that rice regularly.

In Toronto, I found Nazir Shah rice in some Bangladeshi groceries. Let's not discuss the prices.

You won't find rice for Polao anywhere except Bangladeshi groceries. If there is no Bangladeshi grocery in your area, you will have to depend on Basmati rice only.
