Laila Matta Rice 5kg

Kerala's Beloved Red Rice

Laila Matta Rice — also known as Kerala Red Rice or Rosematta — is a traditional parboiled rice with a distinctive reddish-brown hue and a hearty, nutty flavour. A staple of Kerala cuisine for generations, it brings earthy depth and wholesome nutrition to every meal.

Why Choose Laila Matta Rice?

• Rich, Nutty Flavour – Distinctive earthy taste that sets it apart from regular white rice
• High in Fibre & Nutrients – The bran layer is retained, making it a more nutritious choice than polished rice
• Parboiled for Better Texture – Firm, chewy grains that hold their shape beautifully and don’t turn mushy
• Authentic Kerala Staple – The traditional choice for kanji (rice porridge), steamed rice, and appam
• 5kg Value Pack – Ideal for households that cook Matta rice regularly

Cooking Tips

Rinse thoroughly and soak for at least 30 minutes before cooking. Matta rice requires more water than basmati — use a 1:2.5 rice-to-water ratio. Bring to the boil and cook on a medium-low simmer for 25–30 minutes until tender. Perfect for kanji, steamed rice alongside fish curry, or Kerala-style meals.
