- Is Lashkari Kolam rice good for daily meals?
- Yes. It is a medium-grain kolam rice that cooks soft and slightly sticky, which suits plain rice, sambar rice and curd rice. It is not the right pick for biryani or dishes that need firm, separate grains.
- How does it compare with basmati rice?
- Kolam rice is shorter, softer and stickier than basmati. Basmati stays separate and aromatic, so it suits biryani and pulao, while this rice suits South Indian everyday cooking.
- Does it need soaking before cooking?
- Soaking is not required, but rinsing until the water runs clearer removes surface starch. A short soak can help if you want softer rice.
- How should I store a large bag?
- Keep it in an airtight container in a cool, dry place away from sunlight. Transferring it out of the bag helps protect it from moisture and pests.
- Is it suitable for curd rice and lemon rice?
- Yes. Its soft, slightly sticky texture holds together well in curd rice, lemon rice and tamarind rice.
