What it is

Ponni is the rice of the Kaveri, which Tamil literature also calls Ponni. Tamil Nadu Agricultural University released the variety in 1986, and it is grown along the river and across the Thanjavur delta, from Trichy down.

Parboiled ponni cooks soft and slightly sweet, and each grain holds its shape, so curd rice stays creamy instead of pasty. It is the everyday meal rice in most Tamil homes. Choosing between rices? Ponni boiled for daily meals and curd rice; Sri Annam ponni raw for sweet pongal and lighter rice; seeraga samba for biryani.

Tip: For curd rice, cook it one whistle longer than usual and mash it lightly while still warm.

Goes well with: 777 Lime Pickle, 777 Madras Sambar Powder, 777 Appalam
