Cook fragrant, flavourful biryanis and rice dishes with Ajmi Kaima Rice 1kg — a short-grain, aromatic rice variety that is the traditional choice for Kerala-style biryanis and Malabar cuisine. Kaima rice, also known as Jeerakasala rice, is prized for its distinctive small, slender grains, subtle earthy aroma, and ability to absorb spices and flavours beautifully — making it the essential rice for an authentic Malabar biryani.

  • Premium Kaima (Jeerakasala) rice — the traditional rice for Kerala and Malabar-style biryani
  • Short, slender grains with a distinctive subtle earthy aroma reminiscent of jeera (cumin)
  • Absorbs spices and flavours beautifully for a richly fragrant biryani
  • The essential rice for authentic Thalassery biryani and Malabar cuisine
  • Also excellent for ghee rice, pulao, and other Kerala rice dishes
  • Cooks to a light, fluffy, non-sticky texture — perfect for layered biryanis
  • 1kg pack — ideal for home cooking
  • No artificial colours or preservatives
  • Suitable for vegetarians and vegans

How to use: Wash and soak kaima rice for 20–30 minutes before cooking. Use in place of basmati for an authentic Kerala biryani — cook with whole spices, caramelised onions, and your choice of meat or vegetables. Also excellent cooked simply with ghee, whole spices, and cashews for a fragrant Kerala ghee rice.
