Dear Indira,
That was great information on the rice variety from Andhra. Sona Masuri Rice - would like to get this rice and see the distinction that you are trying to make. The rice placed on the sago papad looks most appetizing! The links to the ealier posts are very useful.

Hi Nanditha, thanks. I loved reading Japan story at your blog. Keep up the good work!

It’s great to hear that you are also a fan of sona masuri, Kay.:)
Sona Masuri is a plain, processed white rice. Depending on the amount of polish it went through, the rice grain color ranges from pale brown to sparkling white.

Indira! Are you a mind reader? I came here to ask you a question about this sona-masuri rice and you have written about it… This has been a staple in our diets for a few years now. When my mil visited us, she asked us a pretty normal question - Is this parboiled or boiled or raw rice? I didn’t know. BAC, Would you know this information about sona-masuri rice.

Thank godness this is well stocked in Indian stores, I remember it was such a big task to get this a while ago and had to be content with sticky jasmine rice.
