How to store these rice varieties?
These indigenous rice varieties don’t need fertilizers or chemicals to grow. So you have to store carefully to avoid any bugs. You can buy two or three varieties every month in minimal quantity and try. Prefer using red chillies and vasambu or bay leaves inside open packets. If you buy in large quantities please freeze them and used dried neem leaves in the container.
These rice varieties are costly. Are they worth it?
This is a very common question to me every time I post a traditional rice recipe. With the refined/processed / Genetically modified foods we have invited and open to doors to all chronic lifestyle diseases to our generation. If we would want to reverse this and live healthy as long as we live we ought to make this switch of bidding bye to unhealthy whites and embracing these forgotten traditional rice varieties. A friend said to me this, ” Kalyani I am happy to invest in these traditional rice varieties rather than spending lakhs to recover from these lifestyle diseases”. I give the same as the answer. I see this cost and all my efforts as an investment to good health for me and my future generation. The call is yours, my dear reader.
Why do you stress repeatedly about these rice variants?
The major reason I want our generation and future generation to be healthy. The more people consume these healthy foods, the more will be the demand and we shall have them in every shop like our previous generations and with more produce, the prices shall also come down. Now the produce is so low due to very less demand.
Notes:
The idlies were soft and dosas were crispy. I made a mistake of soaking overnight and also grinding in a mixer. Soak for 4 hours and grind in grinder for perfect fluffy idlies. You can add 3 tbsp of aval soaked too for softness.
Soaking overnight will add a sticky nature. Hence the recommendation is only for 4 hours. Next time I plan to soak for only 2 hours and give a try in the grinder.
You can store the batter like the usual idly dosa batter.
