One of the reasons bullet rice is so widely embraced is due to its adaptability. Whether prepared as a simple steamed dish, cooked in a biryani, or used in making rice-based desserts like payasam, it seamlessly fits into various cuisines. The rice can absorb both spices and liquids effectively, making it ideal for both dry and wet preparations. In many South Indian households, it is a preferred option due to its flavor and texture, especially when paired with coconut-based gravies.
