Instructions

Here I have used leftover rice..However you can make rice fresh and cool it..So that each grain are separate
Blend tamarind properly in a bowl..And seive the juice from it in a glass bowl.
Heat oil in pan..Add cumin and mustard seeds..Once they crackle..Add chanadaal and peanuts and roast till they have become brown in colour
Then add hing,turmeric,curry leaves,dry red chilly and mix well...
Finally add 1 cup of tamarind juice , 1 cup water and little salt, boil for about 10 min so that daal and peanuts become soft and tender.
You can store the above mixture for 7 days and mix it with rice whenever you have leftover rice
Now add the cooked rice in tamarind masala mixture and mix well so that all the taste of tamarind masala blends properly with rice..
Now off the gas and serve..
This tamarind rice is best served during festival prasad or you can carry it while travelling as due to sourness,its chances of spoiling is very little..
