What it is

Ponni paddy soaked and steamed in the husk before milling, which is what parboiling means and why the grain holds its shape instead of breaking down. It is the everyday rice in most Tamil kitchens, and the 10 kg sack is the size it is actually bought in.

Parboiled holds up under sambar and rasam and reheats well, and it is the grain a Tamil household cooks twice a day. Choosing between the two? Puzhungal for everyday sambar and rasam rice, pachai arisi for pongal, payasam, lemon rice and curd rice.

Tip: Three whistles and ten minutes resting. Opening the cooker early is what leaves the centre of the grain hard.

Goes well with: Udhaiyam Toor Dhall 2kg, Udhaiyam Roasted Daria 500g, Sakthi Sambar Powder 200g
