Annam Red Boiled Rice, also known as Matta Rice or Kerala Red Rice, is a variety of rice that has a distinctive red color due to its unpolished nature. This rice is widely consumed in South India, especially in Kerala, and is known for its robust flavor and nutty taste. It is typically used to make traditional South Indian dishes like idli, dosa, and appam. Red boiled rice is a nutritious option as it retains the bran layer, which is rich in fiber and nutrients. It is considered a healthier alternative to highly polished white rice.
