Pulihora/Puliogare

Hello, am back with another recipe. How was the day?


Today I did not have any vegetables, so thought of preparing Pulihora ( in Telugu) and Puliogare in Kannada. Usually pulihara is served as prasadam in temples in Andhra, Karnataka.


Puli means- sour, Pulihora tastes sour, spicy hot and salty at the same time. It is considered to be a good stimulant for a dead tongue. It is easy and inexpensive to cook and is a good stomach filler. Here is the recipe;


Ingredients are:
Green chillies- 7-8 ( Cut in pieces)
Red Chillies- 4-5

Groundnuts

Cashew nuts

Mustard seeds

Channa dal- 2-3 spoons

Urad dal- 2 spoons

Curry leaves
Turmeric
Tamarind pulp

Cooked rice - 1 cup (for 2 persons)
Oil- 3-4 spoons
Hing


Method-
1. In a vessel put the cooked rice. In between the rice add turmeric and curry leaves and leave it aside.
2. Heat oil. Put channa dal, Urad dal, groundnuts, cashews and fry till dal turns golden brown.
3. Now add mustard seeds, Hing, red chillies, green chillies and allow to splutter.

4. Add the tamarind pulp and let it cook for 6-7 minutes in medium flame. Once the oil leaves  comes out clearly, mix properly to the rice in the vessel.
5. Pulihora ready.... W ill taste even good once its cool down.

Enjoy..................


Have a good day...
