Background

Tamarind rice is a very famous South Indian rice dish which is a must in any grand functions like marriage or engagement parties. It has a tangy taste to it and is very delicious.

Ingredients

1 cup Rice (cooked)
1 Lemon sized tamarind (Soaked in water)
1 tsp Mustard seeds
2 tsp Black gram (Urad dal)
2 tsp Bengal gram (Chana dal)
2 Dry red chillies
A pinch of Asafoetida
1" Ginger (finely chopped)
2 Green chillies (Slit)
1 tsp Turmeric
1 Tbsp Oil
A sprig of curry leaves
1 Tbsp Peanuts (Roasted)
Salt as required

Instructions

In a pan, heat the oil and add mustard seeds, black gram and Bengal gram dal and let them splutter.
Add curry leaves, red chillies, asafoetida, green chillies and ginger.
Squeeze the tamarind juice and add it to the seasoning and boil until it becomes thick.
Add turmeric and peanuts to it and mix.
Switch off and mix this mixture to the rice with salt to taste.

Tips

The rice should be steaming hot when the mixture is mixed to it.
If the tanginess is not sufficient, boil some more tamarind juice and add to the rice.
The tamarind mixture with the seasoning should be added to the rice carefully taking care of the amount of tanginess, so that it should not be either more or less.
If the tamarind mixture is left out, it can be stored in an airtight jar in the refrigerator for a week and can be used to make more tamarind rice.
