Navara Rice 250g

Use for Various Purposes

1. Cooking: Navara rice can be cooked and consumed like regular rice. Rinse the rice thoroughly, then cook it using the standard rice-to-water ratio (usually 1:2) either on the stovetop or in a rice cooker. Once cooked, Navara rice has a slightly nutty flavor and a fluffy texture, making it a delicious and nutritious accompaniment to various dishes.
2. Porridge: Navara rice porridge is a popular preparation, especially for infants, convalescents, and those looking for a nutritious breakfast option. To make Navara rice porridge, simply cook the rice with a higher water ratio until it becomes soft and porridge-like in consistency. You can sweeten it with jaggery or honey and add spices like cardamom for flavor.
3. Medicinal Preparations: In Ayurveda, Navara rice is often used in medicinal preparations known as “Navara kizhi” or “Navara pindi”. These are poultices made by boiling Navara rice along with various herbs and medicinal ingredients. The poultices are then wrapped in cloth bundles and used in therapeutic massages to alleviate pain, improve circulation, and promote overall wellness.
4. Desserts: Navara rice can also be used to make delicious desserts such as rice pudding or kheer. Cook the rice with milk, sugar, and your choice of flavorings such as cardamom, saffron, or nuts to create a rich and creamy dessert that’s both satisfying and nutritious.
5. Bread or Roti: Navara rice flour can be used to make gluten-free bread or roti. Mix Navara rice flour with water or other gluten-free flours like chickpea flour to form a dough. Roll out the dough and cook it on a hot griddle or skillet until it’s cooked through and slightly crispy.
6. Face Packs: Navara rice powder can be used as an ingredient in homemade face packs and scrubs. Mix Navara rice powder with ingredients like yogurt, honey, or rose water to create a nourishing face pack that helps exfoliate, brighten, and soften the skin.

These are just a few ways to use Navara rice in your culinary and wellness routines. Experiment with different recipes and preparations to discover the versatility and benefits of this nutritious grain.
