Description

Idli rice is a specific type of rice used to make idlis, a popular South Indian breakfast item. It is a short-grain, parboiled rice with a white color. Idli rice is known for its high starch content, which helps in achieving the soft and fluffy texture of idlis. It has a mild flavor and a slightly sticky consistency when cooked. Idli rice is soaked, ground into a batter, and fermented before steaming to make idlis. It is also used in other South Indian dishes like dosas and uttapams. Idli rice is a staple in South Indian cuisine and is favored for its ability to create light and airy idlis that are enjoyed with various chutneys and sambar.
