What it is

Daawat is best known for basmati. It comes from LT Foods, a family business founded by Raghunath Arora in the Amritsar basmati-growing belt of Punjab. This bag is the southern staple instead: ponni, the everyday Tamil rice.

Ponni was released by Tamil Nadu Agricultural University in 1986 and is named after the Kaveri. Parboiled, it cooks soft and slightly sweet, and holds up through sambar, rasam and curd rice. Choosing between rices? Ponni boiled for full meals; sona masoori for a lighter raw rice; Daawat basmati for pulao and biryani.

Tip: For a proper meal spread, cook the rice first and keep it covered. Parboiled ponni stays warm and loose for an hour.

Goes well with: Annapoorna Sambar Powder, 777 Pepper Rasam Paste, SMS Maracheeni Appalam
