-------------------------------
Ingredients:
* Traditional Poongar Rice (Oryza sativa)
* Free from synthetic additives, preservatives, polishing agents, or artificial colors.

Usage & Preparation Instructions:
Because Poongar is an unpolished red rice with a nutrient-rich outer bran, soaking ensures even cooking and optimal nutrient absorption.
* Rinse & Soak: Wash thoroughly in cold water and soak for 1 to 2 hours.
* Pressure Cooker: Combine 1 cup of soaked Poongar rice with 3 to 3.5 cups of water. Cook on medium flame for 4 to 5 whistles, then allow the steam to release naturally before opening.
* Open Pot Method: Bring 4 cups of water to a rolling boil, add 1 cup of soaked rice, and simmer on low-medium heat for 60–70 minutes until grains are soft and tender.
* Maternal Porridge (Sathu Kanji): Cook 1 cup of rice with 5 to 6 cups of water until completely mushy and soft. Stir in a pinch of rock salt, lightly roasted cumin powder, and fresh garlic cloves or buttermilk for an easy-to-digest, restorative porridge for mothers.
* Tiffin Batter (Idli & Dosa): Soak Poongar rice alongside blackgram in a 4:1 ratio. Grind into a smooth batter, ferment overnight, and prepare naturally pink-tinted, soft idlis or crispy dosas suitable for young toddlers and adults alike.
* Puttu & Idiyappam: Lightly dry-roast the raw grains, grind into a soft flour, and steam into gentle puttu or string hoppers.
Storage Instructions: Store in a cool, dry place inside an airtight glass container away from direct sunlight and humidity.
