What is this product?
Rabeena Boiled Udiyal Sticks (gekochte Odiyal-Stangen) are made from the starchy underground shoots (sprouts) of the Palmyra palm tree, native to Northern Sri Lanka. Known as "Odiyal," these sprouts are boiled and then sun-dried to preserve them, resulting in a hard stick that must be rehydrated or ground before cooking.
Why choose this product?
Boiled Odiyal is a deeply cherished ingredient in Jaffna Tamil cuisine, prized for its distinct earthy taste and thickening properties. Finding authentic, properly processed Odiyal outside of Sri Lanka can be difficult.

FAQ
What is the difference between boiled Odiyal and raw Odiyal?
Boiled Odiyal is cooked before drying, which removes some of its natural bitterness and makes it slightly sweeter and easier to cook with. Raw Odiyal is dried without boiling and is often ground into flour for different types of snacks (like Pittu).
