What it is

Ambemohar is a short-grain rice from Maharashtra, grown around Pune. The name means mango blossom, ambe mohar in Marathi, because that is what the rice smells like as it cooks.

The grains are small and cook up soft and slightly sticky, so they cling together on the plate rather than separating. That makes it the rice for varan bhaat with ghee and lemon, masale bhaat and a soft khichdi, not for biryani. Choosing between Maharashtrian rice? Ambemohar for fragrance and occasions; Indrayani for everyday sticky rice at a lower price; basmati when you want long, separate grains.

Tip: Rinse it gently with your fingertips, not a rub between the palms. The grains break easily.

Goes well with: Udhaiyam Toor Dhall, Heera Butter Ghee, 777 Lime Pickle
