Default What variety of rice to get....

Hi all,

In california we were used to sona masoori rice(Brand:ravi).But here in NJ i am not able to find tat brand, so this time i picked a 10lbs pack of Ponni raw rice, since in India my mom used to get tat variety. Is this wat u all prefer, if not which is better. Rite now i hav gone for Laxmi brand. Suggest me with this.Thanks.

Hi

Lakshmi brand products are always good...if you dont gt sona masoori, u can very well use ponni...The only concern is all these rice creates heavy gastric problem. To avoid, add some 4/5 Fenugreek (in Tamil its called "Vendhayam")

Hi,

As our friends said they both are equally good.

I was using in India Sona masoori only, so past 2yrs here i am using same. Do try in Indian stores, you should surely find them.
