Black Rice

Wash the rice and soak in water for 6-8 hours or overnight. Drain the water. In a cooking pot add rice and water in the ratio 1:3. Cover the pot with a lid and simmer for about 30-40 mins. Alternatively pressure-cook the soaked rice for about 20 mins (2-3 whistles) on a medium heat. Black rice can be used to make delicious rice based desserts like kheer, pudding or pulao, dosa / idli batter and pan cakes.

Store in a cool, dry place.
