Rice is actually a staple food in so many countries and goes on to provide billions of people around the world with an inexpensive and nutritious source of energy. In stark to all the many forms of red rice around the world is the samba variety which is the Red Samba Rice that is so much more smaller in terms of its grain and is parboiled red rice. All the red pigments that are present in the bran makes rice so much rich in antioxidants. The famous Mapillai Samba or “Bride Groom Rice” is a fascinating native variety of rice or more so, the red rice family, which is red in colour and is grown primarily in Tamil Nadu.

In the olden days, it is almost essential for a man to show his bravery and muscle strength through many traditional and regional sports. These sports are conducted mainly to test their physical as well as their mental strength. Thus to boost their physical image, the mother in law would go on to cook and serve rice which is so much high in nutritional value. It is famously known as a 160 days crop. Unfortunately, along with all the other wide native varieties of rice, the mapillai samba has almost easily disappeared from our farms as well as our markets. Very few dedicated and passionate traditional farmers still resort to grow such rice now. This rice famously comes from Thiruvannamalai in Tamilnadu. Before we begin making sambar, it always helps to soak tamarind in water earlier. So soak 1 tablespoon tamarind in⅓ cup hot water for 20 to 30 minutes.
