No Valencia rice - best alternative for paella?

[BulletProofMum]

Ocado doesn't have Valencia rice rice. I'm making a paella and have basmati, American long grain and risotto rice in the house. Which would you use?

I don't dare step foot in the supermarket with three children :(

Arborio or risotto rice is what I use

Thanks - ill try the arborio - does it end up creamy though?

I've used arborio for paella and it worked out fine, a little more creamy than the paella rice.

I used basmati in ours last night as it was all that I had left in the cupboards. Turned out lovely

Aborio/risotto

Yes use risotto rice but just don't stir it - that's what makes it creamy. High heat to start then lower after 10 mins, never stir, just shake a little if needed.
