You will definitely get better results from homemade puree, but there is nothing wrong with using pre-made purees in jars. I would say that it's probably better to stick to purees you find in asian shops or asian sections of supermarkets (e.g. Natco, Shan, Rajah, etc.).

Another positive vote for Spices of India. If all you need is rice, and you don't have any local Asian shops around, I would recommend finding a big supermarket, as most of them tend to have an 'Asian' section that usually has big bags of rice.
