How to Use
Classic Tamarind Rice (Puliyodharai)
- Cook 2 cups of rice (preferably short-grain or sona masoori) and allow it to cool slightly so the grains are separate.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of sesame oil or vegetable oil in a pan. Add mustard seeds and allow them to splutter, then add curry leaves and dried red chilli.
- Add 2–3 tablespoons of Sakthi Tamarind Rice Powder to the tempering and stir for 30 seconds on low heat.
- Mix the spiced tempering thoroughly into the cooked rice. Adjust salt to taste.
- Garnish with roasted peanuts or cashews for added crunch. Serve warm or at room temperature.
Other Uses
-
Tamarind Chutney Base: Dissolve a teaspoon in warm water with a little jaggery for a quick tamarind dipping sauce.
-
Snack Coating: Toss roasted peanuts or popcorn with a pinch of the powder and oil for a tangy spiced snack.
-
Marinade Ingredient: Blend with oil and yoghurt as a tangy marinade for vegetables or paneer before grilling.
Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Keep the pack tightly sealed after opening to preserve aroma and freshness.
