Idli Rice – Fermentation-Optimised Rice for Batter Preparation

Idli rice made from organic, residue-free paddy, cultivated without synthetic fertilisers or chemical sprays

Clean fermentation-grade rice grain with no chemical residue that can disrupt natural batter fermentation

High surface-area rice variety, designed to break down efficiently during wet grinding

Porous endosperm structure enables deep water absorption during soaking

Rapid, uniform hydration prevents hard centres in soaked rice grains

Low protein density rice, avoiding rubbery or dense idli texture

High starch-release profile, essential for active natural fermentation

Even particle breakdown during grinding for smooth, lump-free batter

Low heat generation while grinding, preserving native enzymes in the grain

Stable batter consistency, preventing water separation after grinding

Fermentation-responsive rice grain, allowing predictable batter rise

Excellent gas retention, holding fermentation bubbles for soft, airy idlis

Neutral rice flavour, allowing urad dal aroma to dominate

Traditional South Indian batter rice, ideal for idli, dosa, paniyaram, and appam
