What it is

Karunkuruvai is one of the old paddy varieties of Tamil Nadu, and the name starts with karun, dark. The grain is a deep brown-black, and it is one of the traditional rices now finding its way back into city kitchens.

Cooked, it is firm and earthy, darker than red rice and chewier than anything polished. It suits a plain salted kanji or a wet kuzhambu better than a dry fry. Choosing between dark rices? Karunkuruvai for everyday meals; Natures Black Kavuni Rice (Karuppu Kavuni Rice) for Chettinad kavuni arisi sweet; Natures Kullakar Rice for a lighter red grain.

Tip: Soak it in the morning for dinner. A long soak makes the biggest difference to how evenly it cooks.

Goes well with: 777 Kaara Kuzhambu Rice Paste, 777 Lime Pickle, Sakthi Sambar Powder
