Boiled
The wild warrior grain. Rustic. Resilient. Unparalleled.
Kattuyanam, often known as “Wild Elephant Rice,” is a traditional heritage rice variety deeply rooted in the agricultural traditions of Tamil Nadu. This indigenous red rice is admired for its distinctive appearance, earthy character, and robust texture. Traditionally cultivated for its resilience and ability to thrive in challenging conditions, Kattuyanam brings a rustic, wholesome quality to the plate. Its rich, earthy flavour and firm, slightly chewy texture make it well suited for steamed rice, kanji (rice porridge), traditional South Indian meals, and hearty rice-based preparations.
