India Gate Idli Rice

About Product

India Gate Idli Rice is a premium variety of rice that is specifically cultivated and processed to create the ideal texture and taste for making idlis, a traditional South Indian steamed rice cake. Idli rice is known for its short, fat grains that have a slightly translucent appearance.

Key Characteristics:

1. Short Grains: Idli rice grains are short and plump, which helps in achieving the right consistency and fluffiness of idlis when they are cooked and steamed.

2. Starch Content: The rice has a higher starch content compared to regular rice varieties. This starch is responsible for the soft, spongy texture of idlis.

3. Easy Digestibility: Idli rice is easily digestible due to its specific starch composition and the fermentation process involved in making idlis.

4. Sourcing: India Gate is a well-known brand that produces a variety of rice products. Their Idli Rice is sourced and processed to meet the requirements of making perfect idlis.

Usage: India Gate Idli Rice is primarily used for preparing idlis, a traditional South Indian breakfast item. To make idlis, the rice is usually soaked, ground to a smooth batter along with urad dal (black gram), and then allowed to ferment overnight. This fermentation process contributes to the distinct flavor and texture of idlis. The batter is then steamed in specialized idli molds to create fluffy, spongy, and nutritious idlis.
