• Let it rest for 30 minutes so the rice absorbs the flavors

Frequently Asked Questions
Should I add tamarind pulp too?
Some blends already contain tamarind. Taste after mixing, and add a little extra pulp only if you want more tang.
Which oil works best?
Gingelly (sesame) oil is traditional and gives the best aroma, though any neutral oil works.
Does puliyogare taste better the next day?
Many people think so, since the flavors deepen. Refrigerate leftovers and warm them gently before eating.
