Nitra Thanjavur Ponni Rice
Shop RiceSize: 5 kg
About this item
Tamil Nadu's favourite everyday rice. Nitra Thanjavur Ponni rice comes from the Thanjavur rice belt of Tamil Nadu and is the daily rice in many Tamil homes.
Why cooks choose it
Its medium, plump grains cook soft yet non-sticky, so they mix easily with sambar, rasam and kuzhambu without clumping. Ponni is also the go-to base for variety rice such as lemon rice, tamarind rice and curd rice.
What to cook with it
- Lemon rice (chitranna)
- Curd rice with tempering
- Sambar rice
- Tamarind rice (puliyodarai)
How to cook
Rinse well and soak for 15 minutes. Cook with 2 to 2.5 cups of water per cup of rice until soft, or pressure-cook for three whistles. For variety rice, spread the cooked rice on a plate to cool before mixing.
Pack sizes
Available in 5 kg and 18 kg packs.
Storage
Keep sealed in a cool, dry place, away from moisture.
