Seeraga Samba rice, also called seeraga samba arisi (Tamil).

What it is

Seeraga samba is a Tamil Nadu rice with tiny grains, about a third the size of a basmati grain. Seeragam is Tamil for cumin, which the grains look like, and samba is the season it grows in, roughly August to January.

It is fragrant and a little starchy, and because the grains are so small they soak up the masala instead of sitting on top of it. That is why Tamil biryani tastes the way it does. Choosing between biryani rice? Seeraga samba for Dindigul and Ambur styles, where the rice drinks the masala; basmati for Hyderabadi dum and pulao, where you want long, separate grains.

Tip: Rinse gently and soak only 15 to 20 minutes. The small grains break if they soak too long.

Goes well with: Cookd Dindigul Biryani Paste, 777 Biryani Pulav Masala, GRB Pure Ghee
