Sona Masoori Rice
Discover the aromatic, lightweight rice of South India—Sona Masoori, often referred to as the "Pearls of South India."
This fragrant, medium-grain rice is a staple in South Indian households and is commonly used in dishes such as Pongal, coconut rice, lemon rice, idli, plain rice, and more.
Unlike polished Basmati rice, which is typically reserved for special occasions like biryanis, Sona Masoori is an everyday essential—light, wholesome, and authentic to South Indian cuisine.

To view my recipe, simply click on the image and then select ‘Go to link’.
I always use fresh ingredients in all my recipes. For example, I prepare my own garam masala, ginger-garlic paste, coriander powder, and freshly ground black pepper—all blended at home and ready to use in my South Indian dishes. Even ingredients like tomatoes are always fresh, ensuring every dish is full of authentic flavor.
