Andhra Pulihora RecipeAndhra Style Tamarind Rice.Preparation Time : 15 mins | Cooking Time : 45 mins | Yields : 4 Recipe Category: Main Recipe Cuisine: Indian Author: Nithya Ingredients: Cooked Rice : 2 Cups Gingelly Oil : For Sprinkling Salt : As needed Turmeric powder : 1/4 tsp For Pulihora Mix: Gingelly Oil : 2 tbsp Tamarind : Medium Lemon Size Green Chilli : 2 Jaggery : 1 tsp Shredded Ginger : 1 tsp Mustard : 1/2 tsp Chana Dal : 1 tsp Urad Dal : 1 tsp Curry Leaves : 15 Red Chilli : 4 Instructions:
1.Cook rice and water with 2:1 ratio. I used Sona Masoori Rice. Spread the rice in a tray/plate. Sprinkle Salt, turmeric powder and oil on the hot rice. Cover and keep it aside. Soak tamarind in hot water for 10 to 15 mins. Filter the tamarind juice. To this add slit green chillies, ginger and jaggery. Heat 1 tbsp of gingelly oil and add tamarind juice, cook for 15 to 20 mins in medium flame until the tamarind mix becomes thick and oil oozes out. Remove from stove.
2. Heat one more pan and add remaining 1 tbsp of gingelly oil. Add mustard. Allow it to splutter. Add chana dal, urad dal, red chillies and curry leaves. Fry till chana dal turns golden brown color. Add this to cooked tamarind juice. Now Pulihora mix is ready. 3. Add pulihora mix to the rice little by little as needed and mix it well. Adjust Salt if needed. Tips: Prepare the pulihora 2 to 3 hrs before serving as the flavors come out well when it is left for 2 to 3 hrs. Leftover pulihora mix can be stored in fridge for 3 to 4 days. Adjust Red and Green chillies to your taste. Roasted peanuts can be added for garnishing. |
Andhra Pulihora
I was searching for authentic Andhra Pulihora or Andhra Tamarind rice for a long time. 8 months back, I tasted it in my friend Sudha's house and I loved it. So I asked my friend to share the recipe. She was kind enough to hand written the recipe. She gave me the recipe long time back. Since then I have tried it many times. I have also posted my mom's Puliyodharai. There are some difference in both versions. Ginger and Green Chilli are added in this pulihora. My mom usually adds red chilli and pepper. Both are my favourite. Please check below for step by step instructions and pictures for preparing Andhra Pulihora.
