₹249.00
Sticky rice could easily be one of the most essential grains globally. Nearly half of the world’s population eats different varieties of it every day. The origin of this rice can be traced back to Southeast Asia. Our Natural Khasi Sticky Rice, a glutinous rice, from Meghalaya is actually naturally gluten-free! It is known as Khaw Pnah or as Khaw Shulia in the local dialect. High in amylopectin and low in amylose, it is also favoured by the tribals to make varieties of excellent, local rice beer. This sticky rice is sourced from tribal farmers who still follow traditional practices of not using chemical fertilisers or pesticides.

Cooking tips:
Sticky rice cooks best in steam and not in water. For this method, soak the rice at room temperature for at least 4 hours. Then, cook it in steam, like you do for idli’s dhoklas’s etc. A bamboo steamer or any rack steamer works for this along with a muslim cloth. Steaming time is nearly 20-30 mins.
