Why Choose Shankar Palakadan Matta Rice 5kg?

Palakadan Matta is a partially milled red rice that retains more of its bran layer than fully polished white rice, giving it a characteristic reddish hue, a slightly nutty taste, and a firmer bite after cooking. It is the traditional rice of choice for Kerala-style meals, kanji (rice porridge), and accompaniments to fish and meat curries.

Serving Suggestions

• Steam and serve with Kerala fish curry, sambar, or avial for a traditional Kerala meal
• Prepare kanji (rice porridge) with coconut milk for a nourishing breakfast or light meal
• Use for Kerala-style rice and curry thali with pickles and papad
• Serve alongside beef or chicken stew for a hearty everyday meal
