2. Vegetable Sambar Rice Bowl with Full Bran Matta Rice – Full bran rice’s earthy chewiness pairs wonderfully with sambar, creating a wholesome, fiber-rich bowl that keeps you full for hours.
3. Red Rice Idli/Dosa Batter – Using Matta rice in your idli or dosa batter gives a healthier twist to these breakfast staples, adding extra fiber and a richer taste.
4. Coconut & Vegetable Upma – Half-polished rice works beautifully in a light upma, especially when combined with fresh vegetables and grated coconut for a fragrant, satisfying breakfast or snack.
5. Spiced Red Rice Salad Bowl – A modern, health-conscious dish where cooked full bran rice is tossed with sautéed vegetables, herbs, and a tangy dressing for a nutrient-packed meal.
With a little soaking and the right cooking ratios, Matta rice adapts to countless recipes, both traditional and contemporary. Whether you are honoring Kerala’s culinary heritage or experimenting with fusion dishes, Satwam’s pesticide-free, home-grown rice ensures that every meal is as nourishing as it is flavorful.
