Idli Rice

Description : Idli rice is parboiled rice and used specifically for making idli and dosa. Idli Rice goes through a single parboiling process, which means paddy grains are partially boiled prior to processing.

This reduces soaking time before grinding rice to make Idli & Dosa Batter. It is mushy when cooked and stays fresh & white for a long time. The cooked Idli rice grains are smaller, softer

In conclusion, you can use Idli rice and boiled rice interchangeably. You can use either rice to eat as a cooked grain or to make idlis. But you will get a chewier, sturdier grain with boiled rice. On the other hand, you will get softer, tastier idlis with Idli rice.
