The subtle sweetness of the hand-pounded red-white Dudhersar inspired us to pair it with a jackfruit and coconut. The hint of nuttiness in the rice paired nicely with the aromatic and slightly fruity side dish.

about

Manually processed using the traditional dhneki, a quite ingenious apparatus largely found in rural Bengal for pounding rice out of their husks and which is slowly dying a cruel death, this variety is supremely flavourful. What it lacks in aroma, it makes up for in its generously bold mouthfeel. It is a cultivar of the regular Dudher Sar which is quite famous as a table rice in Bengal. The beautiful colour and flavour makes it one of our favourite rice varieties.

what you can cook with it

Like Dudhersar, you can use it as a normal table rice and pair it with any dish of your choice. We like to have it with slightly sweeter side dishes to compliment its bold texture and mouthfeel.
