Seeraga samba — this indigenous variety of rice needs no introduction. The word instantly brings memories of the humble delicacy of biryani. Aromatic, tiny, and pricey — the rice has been gaining immense popularity in households and the hotel industry for its distinct flavour-absorbing properties.
The rice takes its name from seeragam (cumin seeds) because of its physical resemblance, both being small and ovular; samba refers to the season (typically August to January) when the rice is grown.
