Idli Rice
Parboiled short grain
Short, plump parboiled rice milled for idli and dosa batter, where it gives soft idlis and a smooth grind.
Where we buy it
Thanjavur, Tamil Nadu
Thanjavur is the market town of the Cauvery delta, the rice bowl of Tamil Nadu and the home of ponni and idli rice varieties.
The Cauvery delta districts of Thanjavur, Tiruvarur and Nagapattinam.
We buy idli rice directly at Thanjavur during peak arrivals, before the lots move to Ahmedabad for processing and packing. Buying at the source market means the widest choice of lots and no trader margin between the farmer and our customer, which is how we hold both quality and price.
