  1. Hi,
    I am not sure how to get the parboiled rice.iknow this rice is not fully cooked.please can you help me with this..I love dosas…

    • Hi Kala,

      Parboiled rice is nothing but “Puzhungal Arisi” (புழுங்கல் அரிசி) also known as “Idli Arisi” which is available in shops. It is not half cooked rice. The paddy (நெல்) is soaked in water and then cooked in large pots. Then the half cooked paddy is dried in sun and afterwards the outer cover is removed in Rice Mill and the rice is separated. This rice is called “Parboiled Rice”. So, you can buy Idli Rice in the shops and make Idli/Dosa.

  2. Could you please let me know what is raw rice? is it idli rice?
    Thank You.
