I love this version of tamarind rice. For doing this you don’t need to make tamarind paste (hence the name of raw tamarind rice). In this tamarind rice we add loads of onion which normal tamarind rice / puli sadham / puliyodharae doesn’t have. My mum used to do this very often as she always cook more rice than needed :-(. Also when she does it it taste better than mine.. May be because of the amount of oil she uses 🙂 Here I have given measurement based on her recipe.
Ingredients:
Freshly cooked rice or left over rice – 3 cups
Tamarind- a medium lime sized- soak it with salt and extract thick pulp
Sesame seed oil/ ginger oil- 1/4 cup
Turmeric powder – 1/4 tsp
Salt to taste
Onion – 3/4 cup (Small onion finely chopped. Small onion tastes better but big one is ok too)
Mustard seeds- 1/4 teaspoon
Urad dal- 2 teaspoon
Bengal gram dhal – 2 teaspoon
asafoetida/ Hing/ perungaya podi – 1/2 teaspoon
Dried red chillies- 7-8 nos, broken into 3-4 pcs each
Curry leaves- 10 leaves
Serve hot
