We paired this delicious siddha rice variety with our version of peyaj-posto, a simple dish of onions and poppy seeds that complements the earthy flavour notes of the rice. JP as a table rice variety can be used regularly and consumed daily.

about the rice

The rice is named after Jayprakash Singh, a farmer from Benares, who selected and introduced this indigenous rice variety. The medium-grained rice is deeply flavourful and grows well. It is one of the high-yielding varieties that is fairly resistant to diseases, and does not require synthetic pesticides or insecticides.

what you can cook with

JP is very versatile and can be used as your regular table rice. Think simple when pairing it: daal, alu bhaja and maach’er jhol is perfect for it.
