💡 How to Prepare / Use (Step-by-Step)
Prep (Rinse & Soak): Wash the rice gently until the water runs clear. Soak for 20 to 30 minutes. This brief soaking period helps the fine grains expand fully without breaking, preserving their elegant shape.
Cook (The Perfect Fluff): Use a water-to-rice ratio of 2.5:1. For a pressure cooker, 2–3 whistles are sufficient. If cooking in an open pot, simmer until the water is absorbed and the grains are tender yet separate.
Serve (The Daily Staple): Its fine texture makes it the absolute best choice for daily meals with Sambar or Kara Kuzhambu. It is also the secret ingredient for making world-class, light, and digestible Biryanis or Pulaos.
