How to Prepare
Wash the rice thoroughly two or three times using clean water. Soak for about 30 minutes to 1 hour before cooking for improved texture and even cooking. Cook using adequate water until the grains become soft and fluffy. Thooyamalli Rice is suitable for preparing steamed rice for daily meals and can also be soaked and ground into batter for making idli, dosa, appam, and idiyappam. It is equally suitable for preparing kanji, payasam, lemon rice, curd rice, coconut rice, and many other traditional South Indian rice recipes.
