Kothamalli Samba

Kothamalli Samba is a traditional red rice variety from Tamil Nadu, cherished for its distinctive small grains that resemble coriander seeds—hence its name, as "Kothamalli" means coriander in Tamil. This unique rice is cultivated in Ambasamudram taluk, grown using natural farming methods, including green manure, compost, and jeevamrutham. The rice was parboiled and sun-dried, then semi-polished to retain its nutrients while ensuring ease of cooking. Kothamalli Samba is versatile in the kitchen, suitable for daily meals and dishes like idli and dosa. By choosing this rice, you're supporting sustainable agriculture and preserving indigenous rice varieties. Head to our blog : A cute red rice variety : Kothamalli Samba
