Here's the recipe of my masterpiece Puliyodharai.My husband, In-laws and many more love my puliyodharai. I would like to share the recipe with you. Ingredients: Raw Rice - 1 cup Water Tamarind Sesame oil Salt Jaggery (small piece) hing For Powder Fenugreek pepper red chilli sesame seeds coriander powder For Seasoning Mustard seeds Urad dal Peas Dal red chilli groundnuts Curry leaves Method: Boil 1 cup raw rice with 2 cups of water. Soak tamarind in water.I usually take 2 lemon size tamarind and will soak in 2cups of water.Tamarind paste should be thick. Dry roast all the items mentioned in "For Powder". If you have anything in powder form , add that atlast before switching off the flame to avoid over burnt. Powder the roasted ingredients and keep aside. For Puliyodharai, for authentic taste use Sesame oil. Pour sesame oil in a kadai. Using more oil gives more taste and also it will stay long.Put mustard, when it splutters add urad dal,peas dal,groundnuts,curry leaves, red chilli.Now reduce the flame and add the tamarind paste.Allow it to boil in medium flame.The quantity begins to reduce and when the mixture becomes think add salt, hing and a small piece of jaggery to reduce the sourness.When the mixture begins to leave oil , add the powder. After the mixture boils switch off the flame. Mix the raw rice with paste.To adjust consistency add oil,salt. Note:If you want the paste to stay longer , make it a solid paste, wait till the mixture becomes thicken and then add powder. If you need in little liquid form, add powder when the mixture reduces and it sets leaving oil. Hope you will try the recipe and send me feedback.
