Instructions

• Cook the Rice: Wash 1 cup of rice thoroughly and cook it with 2 cups of water. You can cook it in a pressure cooker (about 2 whistles) or in a pot (until soft and fluffy). Once cooked, let the rice cool slightly.

• Tempering (Tadka): Heat 1 tablespoon of oil (preferably sesame oil for authentic flavor) in a pan.

• Add mustard seeds and curry leaves. Let them splutter.

• Add dried red chilies and fry for a few seconds.

• Add peanuts or cashews and fry until they are golden brown and crunchy.

• Add Puliyogare Powder: Add 3-4 tablespoons of Just AAAHARA Puliyogare Powder to the pan and mix thoroughly. Stir for 1-2 minutes to combine the powder with tempering.

• Add Jaggery (Optional):If you like a slight sweetness in your Puliyogare, add 1-2 teaspoons of jaggery. Stir until the jaggery dissolves and combines with the tamarind and spice mix.

• Combine Rice: Add the cooked rice to the pan and gently mix until the rice is well coated with the tamarind-spice mixture. Ensure the rice is evenly flavored.

• Serve: Taste and adjust salt as needed. Serve with yogurt. Enjoy your Puliyogare made with Just AAAHARA Puliyogare Powder
