Ambemohar rice is a fragrant, short-grain rice variety traditionally grown in the Western Ghats of Maharashtra, India, especially in the Pune and Mulshi regions. Its name translates to mango blossom due to its distinct, sweet aroma reminiscent of mango flowers. This rice is soft, slightly sticky when cooked, and ideal for traditional Maharashtrian dishes such as varan bhaat (dal and rice), masale bhaat (spiced rice), and festive preparations like kheer (rice pudding).

Its delicate texture and fragrance also make it suitable for serving with simple dals, curries, or clarified butter (ghee).
