Veenas Seeraga Samba Rice 1KG

Product Information

Indigenous rice varieties are gaining popularity among the newer generation. Any local variety of rice is said to be rich in vitamin B complex and has a lower glycemic index. Add 1 Spoon ghee in Pan with pepper, a tablespoon of cumin, Chopped giner , a bunch of curry leaves and a little cashew nuts and stir well and fry it. It is flavourful and aromatic. It resembles the size of cumin seed and hence, gets the name seeraga samba (Cumin in Tamil is called as seeragam). For the rice I have used seeraga samba rice. If you do not have seeraga samba rice, then use basmati rice. Mushrooms can be substituted with mixed veggies.

Place the rice in a colander and wash under running water. Now place the washed rice in a mixing bowl with water. I have used 1.5 cups rice and 1.5 cups water. Start a kitchen timer for 10 mins. Let the rice soak for 10 mins. Do not soak the rice for longer than mentioned here. Prepping the ingredients Add the tomatoes next and mix well. Cook till tomatoes turn mushy. This takes 2 mins approximately. When the tomatoes are done, stir in the yogurt and mix well. Samba rice is widely cultivated in the Indian state of Tamil Nadu. However, cultivation is limited to the villages of Vellapallam and Keevalur Keevalurtaluks in the Nagapattinam district; Uppiliyapuram in the Tiruchirappalli district; and part of the Thanjavur district in central Tamil Nadu. It is aromatic, small and easily digestible, and for these reasons this rice has gained immense popularity in households and the hospitality industry for its distinct properties and characteristics. So much so that there is work being done to create a protected geographic denomination for this rice, which would be the first variety of rice in Tamil Nadu to obtain public protection.
