Frequently asked questions
What is Matta rice and how is it different from white rice?
Matta rice is a parboiled, red-husked rice from Palakkad in Kerala with a nutty flavour and firm grains that stay separate when cooked. It is only lightly polished, so it keeps more bran and fibre than fully milled white rice.
Which rice should I use for Kerala biryani?
Jeerakasala rice, also called Kaima rice, is the small, fragrant grain used for Malabar biryani. Ponni rice is the everyday choice for steamed rice, kanji and South Indian curries.
Is red Matta rice healthier than white rice?
Matta rice retains more of the bran than polished white rice, so it contains more fibre and has a lower glycaemic impact for many people. Choose whichever suits your diet — both are sold in kilo and multi-kilo packs here.
