Key Product Details
-
The HMT Factor: HMT is a “new age” grain that is thinner than regular Sona Masoori. It is semi-polished and typically aged for 6–12 months, which prevents the rice from becoming “pasty” when cooked.
-
Weight Clarification: While many brands use 25kg, Sri Lalitha specifically markets the 26kg HDPE bag as their standard wholesale unit.
-
Cooking Ratio: Use 1 cup of rice to 2.25 cups of water. Since HMT is lightweight, it cooks slightly faster than regular raw rice.
