Sona Masuri Rice
Karnataka / Andhra Pradesh, South India
A lightweight, aromatic rice variety milled specifically for batter-making rather than table rice, soaked and wet-ground rather than dry-milled.
Why it matters
Its lower starch density is what lets a dosa batter spread paper-thin on a griddle without tearing — table rice varieties make a batter that's too gluey to spread properly.
