Savour the rich, earthy character of Ajmi Matta Rice 5kg — the iconic Kerala red parboiled rice that is a beloved staple across Kerala and Sri Lanka. Matta rice, also known as rosematta or red rice, is instantly recognisable by its distinctive pinkish-red hue, robust earthy flavour, and firm, slightly chewy texture. Parboiled for added nutrition, matta rice retains more fibre and nutrients than white rice, making it a wholesome and deeply satisfying everyday choice.

  • Premium Kerala matta (rosematta) red parboiled rice with a distinctive earthy flavour and firm texture
  • Parboiling retains more fibre and nutrients than regular white rice
  • The iconic everyday rice of Kerala — beloved for its robust, wholesome character
  • Perfect served with Kerala fish curry, sambar, rasam, and vegetable dishes
  • Excellent for making kanji (rice porridge) — a traditional Kerala comfort food
  • Also used for making chemba puttu, rice flakes (aval), and other Kerala rice preparations
  • Generous 5kg pack — ideal for families and regular home cooking
  • No artificial colours or preservatives
  • Suitable for vegetarians and vegans

How to cook: Rinse well and soak for 30 minutes before cooking. Cook with plenty of water (ratio of 1:4 rice to water) as matta rice absorbs more water than white rice — drain excess once cooked, or use a pressure cooker for convenience. Serve hot with Kerala fish curry, sambar, or a simple dal with a drizzle of coconut oil.
