ABOUT Poha tamarind rice RECIPE

This dish is inspired by the south Indian pulihora or lemon rice, so instead of rice, I have made this using poha or flattened rice.

Ingredients Serving: 2

Poha/aval/flattened rice -1 cup
Turmeric powder- 1/4 tsp
Tamarind paste -1 tsp
Salt as needed
Oil - 2 tsp
Mustard seeds - 1 tsp
Asafoetida/hing - a generous pinch
Bengal gram dal/kadalai paruppu - 2 tsp
Red chillies -2
Green chillies -1
ginger
Roasted peanuts -2-3 tbsp
Curry leaves - few

Instructions

Wash aval/poha twice and drain the water completely. Add turmeric powder, thick tamarind extract (very less) or tamarind paste, little salt and mix it well. Keep it aside. In the meantime we will prepare the seasoning.
Heat oil in a kadai, add mustard seeds, when it splutters, add hing, channa dal, red chillies, green chillies, peanuts, salt needed and curry leaves.
When dal turns golden brown, fluff poha and add to it. Mix well, check for salt and cook for 2-3 minutes.
Switch off the flame and serve with potato chips or papads or vadams.
