Preparation Methods:

Vellai Solam Rice: To cook the whole grains, rinse them thoroughly and cook them in a similar way to rice. The ratio is usually 1 part grain to 2.5 parts water. Bring the water to a boil, add the grains, reduce the heat, and simmer until soft (about 25-30 minutes). You can serve it as a side dish with dal or curry, or use it in place of rice in most dishes.
