• Kichadi Samba or Kichili Samba is an indigenous white rice variety from Tamil Nadu.
• It is also called Attur Kichili Samba.
• The rice is semi-polished with 20-25% bran. It is dull white in colour and turns white when cooked.
• This rice was a favourite among the kings of Tamil Nadu because of its unique taste.
• It is an excellent cooking rice that can be served as steamed rice and to make a variety of rice dishes such as biriyanis, kanji, and ven pongal.
• Kichadi Samba goes well with all Indian curries. 
• The original Rajamudi Rice was a big favourite with the Wodeyar kings of Mysore and continues to be popular even today.
• Bio Basics Kichadi Samba comes from two farmers - one is a single farmer in Sirkazhi, who has a PGS-certified farm and is also third-party certified.
• The second farmer is from Thiruvarur district and is also PGS-certified.
• Both farmers save their own seeds and grow them every season.
• It is interesting that the rice that comes from both the farms are different in appearance.
• One is slightly smaller and more slender and the other is bigger.
• Both farmers have taken their seed from the same source but because of the soil and growing conditions, the size of the grains are different.
• Kichadi Samba is a samba season rice.
• The seeds are sown in August-September and harvested in December-January.
• The paddy is aged for 4-5 months before milling.
• The aging is done to reduce breakage of the grain and to get a better recovery rate.
• As with any rice that contains bran, it is advisable not to keep Kichadi Samba Rice for too long unless its plastic packaging has good barrier properties.
• Otherwise it can get infested.
• The farmers mill it after checking requirements and pass it on to us.
• So the rice that comes is freshly milled every month or once in two months.
