GARUDAN SAMBA ARISI (or) RICE

Egkam’s Karudan Samba Rice is a heritage rice variety cultivated by small-scale farmers using sustainable, chemical-free practices. Its name—Karudan, meaning "eagle" in Tamil—is a nod to its robust grain structure and strength-giving reputation in traditional households.

This naturally unpolished rice retains its bran layer, giving it a deep red hue and hearty texture. Often used in traditional South Indian kitchens, it is ideal for energy-packed meals like variety rice, lemon rice, or tamarind rice, and holds up well in both simple and festive dishes.

🌾 How to Use:

Cook like regular red rice after soaking

Ideal for lemon rice, tamarind rice, and dry mixed rice varieties
