Thanga Samba Rice – 500g

Thanga samba is one of the gentler traditional rices – softer cooking, milder in flavour, and without the heavy earthiness that puts some people off their first bowl of red rice. It carries magnesium, niacin and thiamine.

This makes it a good everyday rice rather than a special occasion one. It works particularly well for curd rice, and it is a sensible choice for children or for anyone in the house who is not yet convinced about traditional rice.

Can be cooked as plain rice, kanji, puttu or pongal. Soak for about two hours before cooking.
