Ponni rice is valued for its balanced grain structure and dependable cooking performance. It is commonly used for daily South Indian meals and is particularly preferred in Tamil cuisine due to its slightly firmer bite after cooking.
When selecting between raw and boiled Ponni rice, it is useful to consider texture preference and traditional preparation style. Boiled (parboiled) Ponni rice retains more firmness and structure, while raw Ponni offers a softer finish.
