Red parboiled rice (matta / rosematta)

Rice & Grains

Kerala's everyday rice — nutty, coarse and deep red-brown.

What to know

Takes roughly twice as long as white rice and drinks far more water. Cook it like pasta in plenty of water and drain.

Measures

  • 1 cup ≈ 165 g

Cups here are the Indian 200 ml cup, not the 240 ml US cup — a common reason a recipe does not work. Weigh where you can; the grams are the figure we cook to.
