kattuyanam Flattened Rice 250gm

Kattuyanam, which translates to "The Elephant in the Forest," is a towering heirloom rice variety known for its immense height and the physical strength it imparts. Biologically, it is one of the most effective grains for regulating glucose metabolism; it acts as a "natural insulin," slowing down sugar absorption while its high calcium and mineral content fortify the skeletal system, making it a vital lifestyle switch for long-term metabolic and bone health.

💡 How to Prepare / Use (Step-by-Step)

    Prep: Kattuyanam Aval is a very sturdy, unpolished flake. Rinse it thoroughly in a colander and soak it in water for 15–20 minutes. Ensure the flakes are fully submerged to allow the dense bran to soften effectively.

    Method: Drain the water. To make a savory Poha, sauté with cold-pressed oil, mustard seeds, green chilies, and onions. Add the soaked Kattuyanam flakes, sprinkle a bit of water, and steam covered on low heat for 6–8 minutes to achieve a soft, cooked consistency.

    Serve/Enjoy: Pairs beautifully with a spicy ginger chutney or a side of curd. It can also be blended into a coarse meal to make a highly nutritious Kattuyanam Aval Kanji (porridge) for elderly care or growing children.
