Pacharisi is rice milled without parboiling. It cooks softer and stickier than puzhungal arisi and has a cleaner, milder taste.
It's the rice for ven pongal and sakkarai pongal, for payasam, and for kozhukattai and other steamed preparations where the grain needs to break down and bind. Households that prefer a softer texture use it as table rice too.
Cooking
Rinse. Cook 1:2, about 18 minutes, or 3 whistles. Less water than parboiled.
