Directions printed on the pack: The water ratio printed on the pack applies (add butter or margarine and salt to taste, as the pack suggests). Rice cooker: add rice, water, butter or margarine and salt, switch on and let the cooker finish. Saucepan: bring rice and water to the boil uncovered, let the water level drop below the rice, stir, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes. Microwave: cover and cook on high for 6 minutes, stir, cook on the defrost setting for another 5 minutes, then leave covered for 5 minutes before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing ideas.\u003c\/strong\u003e Gravy-heavy curries, parippu and mallung; kola kenda-style rice porridge; or a rice bowl with dried-fish badun and pol sambol.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso known as.\u003c\/strong\u003e අත් කොටන තම්බපු හාල් \/ கைக்குத்தல் புழுங்கல் அரிசி · ath kotana thambapu haal \/ kaikuthal puzhungal arisi.

The grains stay long and separate with a light red-rice nuttiness. Use it for buriyani, ghee rice, yellow rice and fried rice, or plain under curry. A 10 lb bag is roughly 30 cups uncooked, around 90 servings. Directions printed on the pack: The water ratio printed on the pack applies (add butter or margarine and salt to taste, as the pack suggests). Rice cooker: add rice, water, butter or margarine and salt, switch on and let the cooker finish. Saucepan: bring rice and water to the boil uncovered, let the water level drop below the rice, stir, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes. Microwave: cover and cook on high for 8 minutes, stir, cook on the defrost setting for another 5 minutes, then leave covered for 5 minutes before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing ideas.\u003c\/strong\u003e Buriyani and ghee rice; yellow rice for a Sunday lunch; fried rice; or plain under a chicken or mutton curry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso known as.\u003c\/strong\u003e රතු ලක්මතී බාස්මතී \/ சிவப்பு லக்மதி பாஸ்மதி · rathu lakmathi \/ red lakmathi basmathi.

Directions printed on the pack: The water ratio printed on the pack applies (add butter or margarine and salt to taste, as the pack suggests). Rice cooker: add rice, water, butter or margarine and salt, switch on and let the cooker finish. Saucepan: bring rice and water to the boil uncovered, let the water level drop below the rice, stir, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes. Microwave: cover and cook on high for 8 minutes, stir, cook on the defrost setting for another 5 minutes, then leave covered for 5 minutes before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing ideas.\u003c\/strong\u003e Chicken curry, parippu and pol sambol; a red-rice kiribath with lunu miris; or plain with fish ambul thiyal.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso known as.\u003c\/strong\u003e රතු කීරි සම්බා \/ சிவப்பு கீரி சம்பா · rathu keeri samba \/ red keeri samba.

It is a favourite for kiribath and yellow rice. A 2 lb bag is about 6 cups uncooked, roughly 18 servings, or enough for two or three batches of kiribath. Directions printed on CIC Suwandel packs: The pack ratio line reads: for 1 cup of rice add 2 cups of water, 1 tablespoon of margarine and a pinch of salt. Rice cooker: add rice, water, butter or margarine and salt, switch on and let the cooker finish. Saucepan: bring rice and water to the boil uncovered, let the water level drop below the rice, stir, turn the heat to low, cover and simmer 20 to 25 minutes. Microwave: cover and cook on high for 6 minutes, stir, cook on the defrost setting for another 5 minutes, then leave covered for 5 minutes before serving.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eServing ideas.\u003c\/strong\u003e Kiribath with lunu miris or seeni sambol; plain steamed rice with a light fish curry; or yellow rice for a celebration.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAlso known as.\u003c\/strong\u003e සුවඳැල් \/ சுவந்தெல் · suwandel \/ suwadel.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStorage.\u003c\/strong\u003e Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFAQs\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat is Suwandel rice?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSuwandel (fragrant rice in Sinhala) is a native Sri Lankan heirloom variety with a soft, milky texture and a gentle aroma.
