Nitra Idli Rice

About this item

Short, plump grains for soft idlis. Nitra Idli Rice is a grinding rice selected for idli and dosa batter, the base of a South Indian breakfast.

Why cooks choose it

The short, plump, pearl-white grains soak evenly and grind into a smooth, airy batter with urad dal. Well fermented, it steams into soft, fluffy idlis and spreads into thin, crisp dosas, appam and thick uttapam.

What to cook with it

• Soft steamed idli with coconut chutney
• Crisp dosa and masala dosa
• Uttapam with onion and tomato
• Idli upma from leftover idlis

How to cook

A common ratio is 4 cups idli rice to 1 cup urad dal. Soak each separately for 5 to 6 hours, grind the dal fluffy and the rice slightly coarse, mix with salt and ferment overnight in a warm spot before steaming.
