Matta rice, also known as Kerala red rice or rosematta, is a bold, reddish-brown grain with a thick, plump shape and a rich, earthy taste. Each bite is soft yet satisfyingly chewy, with a nutty depth and a slightly rustic finish that stands up beautifully to spicy curries, sambar, and fish or vegetable gravies.
It cooks up filling and wholesome, with a texture that feels substantial and a flavour that is entirely its own.
