Hello, Welcome to Subbuskitchen
In this video, we are going to see how to make Raw Tamarind Rice
In this recipe, we use raw tamarind, grind it to paste and then mix with rice.
Usually for tamarind rice, we boil tamarind along with spices and make Puliyodarai mix which is then mixed with rice.
This is an instant way of making Tamarind rice.
A very tasty rice and also it is a perfect rice for lunch box
Let’s see how to make this Raw Tamarind rice
Raw Tamarind Rice is now ready.
I will share some tips for making this recipe.
We have used tamarind and red chili. Red chili I have used 6-7. You can adjust red chili quantity according to your spice level
I have taken 1 lemon size tamarind
This quantity will serve 5-6 persons
Soak the red chili and tamarind in ½ cup of water for 10 mins and use the same water to grind it to smooth paste
Usually for any variety rice, we used to spread the cooked rice in a broad vessel/plate and allow it to cool
The reason why we allow the rice to cool is when we mix it will not get mushy
But for pacha puli sadam, we need hot rice
Only if the rice is hot, the raw smell of tamarind will be taken off
Since we need hot rice, cook the rice with less water so the rice is hot and also non sticky
Spread 1 cup of rice first then add the tamarind paste then top with rest of rice.
Cover and rest for 10 mins so that the heat gets locked which will take off the rawness of tamarind.
Then we can finish the rice with the tempering
We prepared a spice powder with coriander seeds, pepper, fenugreek and sesame seeds
Preparing this spice powder is optional but it will give a good flavor
We can also just make the tamarind paste, tempering and prepare this rice.
