Kuthari choru is the cooked rice from Rosematta/Kerala red rice. It is the soul food of Kerala and chances of people from other states falling in love with this rice is very remote as generally most of them complain that its too big and plump to eat and hard to chew and perhaps that’s the reason we love it, I don’t know :)
This rice is traditionally cooked by boiling lots of water and when the water starts to boil, grains are added and cooked, in low-medium flame, with lid partially covered, till it turns soft and the rest of the water is drained out. The easiest and less time consuming method to cook this rice is by the pressure-cooking method. Firstly, wash the rice thoroughly in running cold water and drain the excess water. Add the grains to the pressure cooker and pour 3 cups of water for 1 cup of rice and pressure cook, in medium heat, till it is fully cooked and soft enough. It generally takes 3-5 whistles, depending on the variety/brand of the rice and the cooker. Alternatively you can add more than 3 cups of water and once the rice is cooked, drain out the excess water to reduce the starch amount.
Check out Kanji with Rosematta rice.
