Indrayani Rice

Indrayani rice is a popular variety of aromatic short-grain rice grown in the Western state of Maharashtra, India. It is known for its delightful aroma and unique sweet taste. This rice is shorter, and plumper compared to other Indian rice varieties and becomes soft and slightly sticky upon cooking. Indrayani rice is highly versatile and is used in a variety of culinary applications. It is an integral part of the traditional Maharashtrian cuisine and is commonly used in dishes like khichdi, pulao, and sweet rice puddings. The rice is also used in the preparation of a popular dessert called ‘narali bhaat’ made during the coconut day festival. It’s the soft texture and the ability to beautifully absorb flavors, make Indrayani rice a preferred choice for many households and restaurants.
