POKKALI

Online Marketplace Exchange for farmers to directly buy, sell and export traditional heirloom variety Pokkali seeds and rice. Internationally recognized WTO GI Tag and the NPOP Organic Farming Certification. Successful public-private partnership model for market placement of harvested crop and collaborations with Executive Chefs at premimum hospitality establishments as ambassadors of this iconic Pokkali rice and cuisine are driving rapid revival of this uniquely Kerala agricultural heritage. Only rice cultivated from traditional heirloom Chettivirippu and Cheruvirippu Pokkali seeds in the fully organic clay farms of coastal Ernakulam, Alappuzha and Thrissur districts are classified and authenticated as Pokkali Rice.

Traditionally, the harvested seeds (with thick shell) are boiled in a classic Kerala alloy kettle until the shell begins to soften/crack and the red grains become visible. This is then cooled, sun dried, milled and sifted to extract the rice grains at the desired level of the nutritious red grain cover/skin. Finer milling results in lighter red cover grains.

Harvested seeds are also milled without boiling to extract broken rice and create flour used in icoinc Kerala culinary delicacies such as Puttu, Idli, Dosa, Idiyappam, Uthappam, Aval, Avalsupodi and Desserts.
