Can Sri Vaishnavas use parboiled rice (Puzhungal Arisi)? Can we cook parboiled rice, offer it to Perumal, and eat it instead of raw rice (Pacharisi)? Is it correct to use parboiled rice for grinding batter for Idli or Dosa?

It is not just for Sri Vaishnavas; whoever uses parboiled rice, it is considered a deficiency in acara (ritual purity/orthodox conduct). Those who wish to live with strict Achara should avoid it.
