Kerala Sundari
Kerala Sundari
One of our thicker rice varieties, here, has been paired with a traditional fulkopi diye maach’er kaliya recipe. The thick, slightly sweet Kerala Sundari cuts through the rich sauce of a traditional maach’er kaliya.
about the rice
An intriguing name apart, Kerala Sundari has a slightly chewy and mellow bite that makes it perfect for rich sauce-based sides. This hardy folk rice variety is flood-tolerant and high-yielding. Traditionally used for making puffed rice, Kerala Sundari also makes for good table rice suitable for frequent consumption.
