The Story

A traditional flake from Kerala's kitchens

Palakkadan Matta Aval is a traditional roasted rice product prepared from the renowned Palakkadan Matta rice, a variety celebrated for its distinctive taste, natural reddish hue, and deep-rooted connection to Kerala's agricultural heritage.

Carefully processed from mature paddy, the rice is cleaned, roasted, rolled, and dried using time-honoured methods that help preserve its characteristic texture and flavour. We offer two distinct varieties of Matta Aval based on the milling process: delicate rolled flakes and rustic chunky flakes, each bringing its own unique texture to traditional preparations.

The Craft

The craft of rolling & drying

The quality of Palakkadan Matta Aval begins in the paddy fields. The rice used for its preparation is sourced from farms that follow responsible cultivation practices, with careful attention given to soil health, water management, and crop sustainability.

Farmers strive to make thoughtful choices regarding fertilizers and crop protection measures while increasingly incorporating natural and organic farming resources wherever practical. These efforts help maintain the vitality of the land and support the long-term sustainability of rice cultivation in the region.

NaturalVariations

Each batch of Chakka Varatty is uniquely its own — a reflection of the season, the fruit, and the hands that made it.

Flake Thickness

Traditional rolling can result in slight variations in flake thickness, providing a delightful, rustic texture when prepared.

Reddish Hue

The natural red color of Matta rice bran varies from crop to crop, giving the aval its characteristic, authentic reddish-brown tones.

Earthy Aroma

The unique soil of Palakkad imparts a subtle, earthy fragrance to the rice, which carries through to the finished roasted flakes.

Moisture Absorption

As an unpolished grain product, absorption rates can vary slightly, requiring minor adjustments in soaking time for different recipes.

Variation in colour, texture, and sweetness is a natural quality of handcrafted, small-batch production — not a defect. It is precisely what makes each jar special.
