Sona Masuri

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Sona Masuri (or its original name Swarna Masuri) is a medium-grain rice grown largely in the Indian states of Andra Pradesh and Karnataka. In Telugu, Sona Masuri rice is called Bangaru Theegalu(meaning Golden Ivy). It is lightweight and aromatic, and considered to be of premium quality^[who?].

Sona Masuri is largely considered^[who?] to be a healthy dish as it contains little starch and is easily digestible. It is ideal for preparing dishes like sweet pongal, biryani, and fried rice^{[citation needed]}.

It is mainly cultivated in Nalgonda, Warangal, Mahaboobnagar, and Kurnool.
