Puffed rice is one of the popular snacks in India, which is prepared from pregelatinized milled rice usually by sand roasting method. Twelve varieties of indica rice were screened for the best puffing quality based on their chemical composition and physical characteristics such as amylose content, protein content, length, width, thickness, hardness, husk content, true density, and bulk density. The data were analyzed using Pearson’s correlation, and a strong positive correlation was found to exist between amylose content and expansion ratio. At the same time, protein content was found to be negatively related with amylose content, length expansion ratio, and volume expansion ratio. From the analysis Gurjari, Jaya, GR-5, and GR-6 varieties were found to be suitable for puffing.
