[[Idli]] [[rice]] is an Indian [[rice]] which is parboiled. Parboiled [[rice]] is pre-processed in order to reduce soaking time before grinding and it also has gelatinised starch which gives added texture. Short or medium grained [[rice]] is used because you need over 80% amylopectin (s starch) to make soft and plump idlis. Long grain [[rice]] contains only 78% amylopectin and therefore is not suitable. If you are unable to get idli [[rice]], you can use a [[risotto]] rice such as [[arborio]], carnaroli or vialone nano, but as this is not parboiled it will need to soak for about 4 hours longer.

[[Idli]] [[rice]] is used to make [[Idli|idlis]], fermented [[rice]] cakes which are normally served for breakfast in southern India and Ceylon.

[[Idli]] [[rice]] can be obtained in the UK from [[Spices of India]] and some Asian grocers. However, the minimum quantity currently available (2015) appears to be 5 kg, so you might find it more practical to use a [[risotto]] [[rice]].
