Lachkari / Surti Kolam Rice

Product Details

Lachkari / Surti Kolam Rice


Gujarat's slender, fragrant Kolam — fluffy grains with a soft floral note.

Lachkari, also known as Surti Kolam in trade circles, is a more slender and fragrant expression of the Kolam family. It is loved for the way the grains stay light and separate after cooking.

The eating experience is soft yet springy, with a gentle floral aroma that makes it ideal for everyday premium meals, thalis and rice plates where aroma matters without becoming too strong.

Grain Slender, medium-short
Texture Light, springy, separate
Aroma Soft floral, mildly nutty
Best For Thalis & premium daily meals
