Rajamudi Raw Rice is an indigenous rice grown in Karnataka. Originally a white rice variety, Rajamudi Rice is now available in a mix of white and red unpolished grains with 100% bran. It has good cooking quality, is very tasty, and mixes well with all Indian curries. It is excellent for daily consumption. If you haven’t experienced red rice, Rajamudi is a great beginner rice as it doesn’t have the density that you might feel initially with red rice. The texture and quality of Rajamudi Raw Rice are similar to that of white rice.

- Open vessel: 1 cup rice : 3 cups water. Boil water before adding rice and cook on slow flame for 20 minutes. Drain excess water once rice is cooked.
Note: You can soak the rice for 30 minutes before cooking. This will soften the rice and shorten its cooking time.
