What it is

Kavuni is the black rice of Chettinad, a short dark grain that cooks far slower than white rice and turns everything it touches a deep purple. It is eaten mostly as kavuni arisi, the Chettinad pudding, sweetened and finished with coconut and served warm in small bowls.

A kilo goes a long way because nobody eats it by the plateful. Choosing between the heritage rices? Kavuni for the black pudding, karunkuruvai and mapillai samba when you want a red grain for everyday eating, and jeera samba when the biryani pot comes out.

Tip: Soak it for a few hours before it goes near heat, or you will be waiting a very long time.
