So, what is punakaali?

Punakaali, also known as Kerala matta rice or red rice, is a highly nutritious variety of rice that is commonly used in South Indian cuisine. With a distinct reddish-brown color, punakaali has a nutty flavor and a slightly chewy texture that sets it apart from other types of rice. It is a good source of fiber, antioxidants, and minerals like iron and zinc. Punakaali is a great option for those looking to add more whole grains to their diet, and it pairs well with a variety of vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes.
