Rosematta

rosematta Rosematta, a parboiled rice from South India, has slightly fat long grains with some flecks of the reddish outer layers (bran) still on. When raw, even the “white” part of the rice is yellowish because of parboiling. The overall look of the raw rice is pinkish-bronze. When cooked, the grains are separate and almost seem to bounce apart; they fill out and become quite fat, or rounded. The taste of the cooked rice is somewhat smoky-meaty.
