Video on how to cook Kerala Matta rice
Method :
- Wash the rice and soak it in 5 cups of water for an hour.
- Pressure the rice for 7-8 whistles in the cooker.
- Once the pressure is released, take out the rice and drain the excess rice by running this through a colander.
- You can add a bit of salt and give this water to kids.
- This is starch water and generally i don’t prefer to consume it.
- Palakadan Matta rice is ready to serve.
- I prefer this rice with sambar, vatha kuzhambu and curd rice. Some how for rasam rice i feel it didn’t gel with the rice.
Notes:
- Soaking is important for this rice, else it will not get cooked properly.
- This is the easiest way of cooking the matta rice, but if you want to cook on the stove top, you can do so.
- Follow the same steps and cook kerala matta rice on a heavy bottomed pan.
