Suvarna Premium Konkan Ukda Rice is a traditional parboiled rice, the kind of ukda rice that Konkan homes have eaten with their daily curries for generations. Parboiling means the paddy is soaked and steamed before it is milled, which gives the grains a firmer bite and a distinctive, earthy taste.Ukda rice is at its best with Konkan and coastal food: fish or prawn curry, solkadhi, amti, varan and simple dal. It also makes a comforting kanji (rice porridge) and goes well with pickle and papad. The cooked grains stay separate and hold up well, so leftovers reheat nicely.Parboiled rice needs a little more water and time than white rice. Rinse it, soak it for about 30 minutes, and cook with about 2.5 to 3 cups of water for every cup of rice, or give it a few extra whistles in a pressure cooker. Some families boil it in plenty of water and drain the excess.Store the pack in a cool, dry place and keep it tightly closed after opening. Please refer to the label on the pack for the net quantity, packing date and best-before information.
