Daawat - 10kg Idli Rice

Daawat - 10kg Idli Rice is carefully harvested from the paddy fields of South India, where generations of farmers have cultivated this distinctive short-grain variety specifically for the art of idli-making. The grains are naturally plump and starchy, milled without additives or preservatives, and designed to ferment into a smooth, airy batter that produces the softest, most pillowy idlis you have ever tasted.

• Authentic South Indian short-grain rice variety
• No additives or preservatives
• Optimised for fermentation and batter-making
• Origin: India, 10kg bag with handle

What sets Daawat Idli Rice apart is its high starch content and ability to absorb water evenly during the soaking and grinding process, producing a batter with the perfect consistency for fermentation. The result is idlis that rise beautifully, hold their shape on the plate, and melt on the tongue with a subtle natural sweetness that no other rice variety can replicate.

Culinary Application

Soak overnight with urad dal, grind into a silky batter, ferment until doubled, and steam in moulds for classic South Indian idlis that pair with coconut chutney and piping-hot sambar. Equally suited for making dosa batter when ground slightly coarser, or cook it plain as a soft, sticky accompaniment to rasam and kootu. A staple grain that anchors the entire South Indian breakfast table.
