Nei Kichadi Rice
Nei Kichadi Rice is a special variety of short or medium-grain rice known for its soft, slightly sticky texture when cooked — making it perfect for South Indian dishes like kichadi (khichdi), pongal, curd rice, and other traditional comfort foods. The term “Nei” means ghee, and “Kichadi” (or Khichdi) is a soft, mildly spiced rice dish often made with lentils.
