our story
rooted in heritage
At Shukran, we believe Chinigura rice is more than a premium grain. It is a living heritage of Bangladesh, shaped by centuries of tradition and nurtured by the richness of our soil. The land, climate, and care of this region give Chinigura its distinctive aroma, light texture, and elegant, fluffy grains—qualities that cannot be replicated elsewhere.
For generations, Chinigura has been part of our most meaningful moments, from celebratory dishes to everyday meals prepared with love. It carries stories of family, culture, and craftsmanship passed down over time. To us, preserving this legacy is as important as delivering exceptional quality.
That belief led us to embrace the heritage route for Shukran Premium Chinigura. We wanted our packaging to reflect not only what is inside, but where it comes from and what it represents. Ruplal House, one of Bangladesh's most iconic heritage sites, stands as a symbol of history, artistry, and pride. Its story mirrors the values we hold for our Chinigura—respect for tradition, attention to detail, and timeless excellence.
Through Shukran, we aim to present Chinigura to the world not just as rice, but as a heritage grain of Bangladesh. Carefully selected, thoughtfully presented, and shared with gratitude from our land to your table.

01
reverence in rinsing
Measure 1 cup of Shukran Premium Chinigura. Gently rinse under cool water until it runs clear—a ritual that honors each grain's delicate aroma.
02
patience in soaking
Allow the rice to rest in water for 15-20 minutes. This moment of stillness lets each grain absorb moisture evenly, preparing for perfect transformation.
03
precision in proportion
Add 1.5 cups of water for every cup of rice. This time-tested ratio unlocks the bright, fluffy texture that has made Chinigura beloved for 500 years.
04
gentle heat, patient waiting
Bring to a boil, then lower to a whisper. Cover and let the magic happen for 12-15 minutes. Trust the process—do not lift the lid.
05
the final flourish
Remove from heat and let rest for 5 minutes. Gently fluff with a fork—watch as steam carries the fragrance of centuries into your kitchen.
