For idly rice, a thorough washing is required until the water is no longer cloudy. When grinding, use a slightly \"coarse\" texture for the rice to give the idlis their characteristic structure, then mix with the fine dal paste and ferment in a warm place for 8–12 hours until the batter doubles in volume.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,1,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eCulinary Versatility:\u003c\/b\u003e While primarily used for Idlis, this rice is the backbone of many South Indian tiffins. It is the ideal grain for preparing golden, crispy Dosas, soft Paniyaram (Paddu), and Uthappams. Its high starch content and parboiled nature also make it suitable for traditional dishes like Kanji (rice porridge) or for making the perfect \"Akki Roti\" flour.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,2,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eNutritional Benefits:\u003c\/b\u003e As a parboiled rice, the grains have undergone a traditional process that drives nutrients from the husk into the grain, making it more nutritious than regular polished white rice. It is naturally Gluten-Free and Vegan. The fermentation process facilitated by this rice also enhances the bioavailability of nutrients and promotes gut health, a cornerstone of the traditional Indian diet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\"\u003e\u003cb data-path-to-node=\"3,3,0\" data-index-in-node=\"0\"\u003eAuthentic Heritage:\u003c\/b\u003e Shankar is a brand trusted for generations, sourcing grains from the finest rice-growing belts of South India.
