About The Product

Idli rice, otherwise called parboiled rice or idli rava, is a kind of rice normally utilized in South Indian cooking, especially for making idlis and dosas. Idli rice is not quite the same as normal white rice as it goes through an extraordinary parboiling process prior to processing.

The parboiling system includes to some degree heating up the rice in its husk, which holds a significant number of the supplements present in the external grain layer of the rice. In the wake of parboiling, the rice is dried and afterward processed to eliminate the husk, bringing about parboiled rice grains.

Idli rice has a few qualities that make it ideal for making idlis and dosas. It has a marginally coarse surface contrasted with normal rice, which helps in accomplishing the ideal delicateness and softness in idlis. The parboiling system likewise makes the rice grains all the more firm and less tacky, which is fundamental for making fresh dosas.

To make idlis, idli rice is typically absorbed water for a couple of hours, ground into a smooth hitter alongside urad dal (split dark gram), and matured for the time being. The matured hitter is then steamed in unique idli molds, coming about in cushioned and springy idlis.

Notwithstanding idlis and dosas, idli rice can likewise be utilized to make other South Indian dishes like appam, paniyaram, and uttapam. It is generally accessible in Indian supermarkets and can be handily distinguished by its exceptional parboiled surface.
