When you purchase
Ashwatham Mappillai Samba Rice 500g, you are getting a specific quantity of
this traditional rice variety from a local Chennai-based brand. You can
typically cook Mappillai Samba rice similarly to other rice varieties, and it
is often used in traditional South Indian dishes like idli, dosa, pongal, and as
a staple with curries. Some suggest soaking it for about 90 minutes before
cooking and boiling it for 30-45 minutes until it's well-cooked, using about
three times the amount of water to rice. It has a subtle flavor and slightly
chewy texture.
