Karunguruvai Rice – 500g

Karunguruvai is one of the short-duration traditional paddies of the Cauvery delta, grown without chemical fertiliser or pesticide. The grain is dark and small, and because the bran is left on, it carries far more fibre and antioxidant content than polished white rice.

It has a firm bite and a distinct earthy flavour, so it stands up well to a strong kuzhambu. Soak for about two hours before cooking.

Can be cooked as plain rice, kanji, puttu or pongal.
