Tamarind rice is actually a north Indian version of Pulihora or Puliyodharayi, where the term ‘Puli’ means something sour.
Ingredients of Tamarind Rice
- 2 cups rice (cooked ‘bite-like’)
- 1/2 cup tamarind (made into pulp)
- 3 Whole red chillies
- 1/4 cup curry leaves
- A pinch of asafoetida

- 1 tbsp peanuts
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp turmeric powder

How to Make Tamarind Rice

4. Mix them well.
5. Add salt, hing, red chilli powder and turmeric powder. Saute them well.
