    what other rices can we make with jeeraga samba, other than biriyani like lemon rice, tamarind rice, curd rice, pongal, coriander leaf rice, curry leaf rice?

        so all these rices are okay for seeraga samba: what other rices can we make with jeeraga samba, other than biriyani like lemon rice, tamarind rice, curd rice, pongal, coriander leaf rice, curry leaf rice?

        i ask because some say its not sticky, yet if we soak and drain it for 1/2 hour in warm water i assume not cold, it will get the soft sticky texture for pongal especially? if we want it less sticky don’t soak and use it for tamarind, lemon rice those less sticky ones?
