Nitha,

Please go through http://www.indusladies.com/forums/g...ada/53766-food-products-preferred-in-usa.html

and http://www.indusladies.com/forums/g...d-canada/14174-no-more-sona-masoori-rice.html

I use Laxmi Brand. When not available, Durbar or Bansi also works fine.

http://www.indusladies.com/forums/indian-diet-and-nutrition/32770-daily-surprice-at-what-price.html may also be useful to find out the types of rice used by many IL'ites for various purposes.

 

Re: Idli rice brand

Thanks for the reply; Jithika.
I searched IL but couldn't find the right link. I should thought about the first link(foods preffered in US), it skipped my mind.

Re: Idli rice brand

I'm not sure if I've posted in the other thread - I use Blue Ribbon Parboiled Long grain rice from Costco. My idlis come out very soft. I'm so happy since I'm not dependent on Indian store and the relatively expensive ponni brands.

 

Re: Idli rice brand

Nitha,

I was using the Idli rice whatever available in the Indian store, but now I switched to Ponni boiled rice(Ponni puzhungal rice).Its very good esp.it gives more batter,less urad dhal and soft Idli than the Idli rice..Try this out...

 

Re: Idli rice brand

Hi nitha
I am using Khazana idli rice,my idlis and dosas comes out really good.

 

Nitha,

Me too using Blue ribbon long grain rice from costco..... it comes up real soft and fluffy, i am happy with the results at a affordable cost.
