ALL ABOUT THIS PRODUCT

Natural Khasi Sticky Rice – From the Hills of Meghalaya

Sticky rice is one of the most essential grains in the world—nearly half of the global population enjoys its many varieties every day. Our Natural Khasi Sticky Rice, also known locally as Khaw Pnah or Khaw Shulia, hails from the lush hills of Meghalaya in Northeast India. This glutinous rice is naturally gluten-free, despite the name.

Grown by indigenous tribal farmers using traditional, chemical-free practices, this rice is a cultural staple. It's high in amylopectin and low in amylose, making it extra sticky when cooked. Local communities also use it to brew flavourful rice beers, a part of their rich culinary tradition.

Why Choose Khasi Sticky Rice?

  • Easy to digest

  • Mildly sweet and pleasantly chewy

  • Naturally packed with vitamins, minerals, and fibre

  • Versatile: enjoy it as a cereal, part of a meal, in sushi, or even as a dessert

If you haven’t tried this unique grain yet—you’re truly missing out!


Cooking Tips:

Sticky rice is best when steamed, not boiled.

How to cook:

  1. Soak the rice in room-temperature water for at least 4 hours.

  2. Drain and transfer to a steamer lined with a muslin cloth (or any clean cotton cloth).

  3. Steam for 20–30 minutes, until the grains are tender and sticky.

  4. Use a bamboo steamer, idli steamer, or any rack steamer.
