Special Rice Variety ‘Mota Chawal’ Takes Peshawar by Storm
During the recent cold wave in Peshawar, a special rice variety known as ‘Mota Chawal’ from the Charsadda district has become a culinary sensation. Food enthusiasts are flocking to outlets in Peshawar’s Firdaus area to indulge in the delicious taste of this unique rice.
Pir Muhammad, a retired teacher from the Nowshera district, expressed his love for Charsadda’s Mota Chawal, especially when paired with grilled, spicy meat. He mentioned his tradition of getting takeout from Qissa Khwani for his family, spending around Rs. 300 on their delectable cuisine.
Khyber Pakhtunkhwa’s traditional cuisines, including Mota Chawal, Chapli Kabab, Roush, Mutton Karahi, Pate Tikka, and Chicken Painda, have attracted a large number of foodies in Peshawar, despite the ongoing rainy weather. Outlets in Firdaus, Board, Namak Mandi, and Qissa Khwani are popular choices for those craving these flavorful dishes. There are also vendors selling Mota Chawal along GT Road between Peshawar, Charsadda, and Mardan.
Riaz Khan, a Mota Chawal seller at Pabbi Bazaar, shared the intricate process involved in preparing Charsadda Chawal, which includes marinating the meat with various spices before cooking it to perfection. He mentioned serving the rice with yogurt, raita, or pickle.
The nationwide demand for Mota Chawal and Chapli Kabab, especially during winter, is due to the purity of meat and freshness of ingredients used in their preparation. Affordable compared to Peshawari rice polao, Charsadda Mota Chawal has become a preferred choice for low-income groups, especially for special occasions like marriage and birthday parties.
Pakistani rice exporters can attest to the quality and popularity of rice from Charsadda. If you’re interested in exploring different rice varieties, check out [rice exporters](https://www.hasrice.com) to find the best rice suppliers in Pakistan.
