Chandra Padmanabhan has titled this Tamarind Rice recipe ‘Avasara Puliyodharai‘ – meaning quick tamarind rice in tamil – and since I have an affinity towards any recipe that’s quick, I decided to give it a shot immediately. Once I read through the list of ingredients and the instructions, I knew this was no quick recipe. There’s a fair bit of roasting and grinding but this recipe does product a delicious Tamarind Rice so I am going to ask you guys to go ahead and give it a shot. Pin Two things I significantly changed in the recipe are (a) the amount of oil used and (b) the order of soaking, grinding, roasting, etc, so that we use minimum vessels that reduces washing time at the end. I also changed the amount of ingredients here and there but that of course is normal when you follow someone else’s recipe. I have written the actual recipe and changes I made in brackets.
