How to Use How to Cook Palakkadan Unda Matta Rice

Because of its hard outer bran, this rice requires more soaking and cooking time than regular white rice. However, the result is nutritious and flavorful.
Ingredients:
1 cup Palakkadan Matta Rice
3 to 3.5 cups water
Salt (optional)
Instructions:
Rinse the rice thoroughly 2–3 times to remove any debris.
Soak the rice for 4–6 hours (or overnight) to reduce cooking time.
Drain and add to a pressure cooker with water.
Cook on medium flame for 4–5 whistles.
Let the pressure release naturally. Fluff gently before serving.
Open Pot Boiling Method
Soak rice for 6–8 hours.
Add soaked rice to boiling water (use 1:4 rice to water ratio).
Cook uncovered on medium flame for 40–45 minutes or until soft.
Drain excess water and let the rice rest covered for 5 minutes.
