tamrind rice

[MyWordizBond]

I did it with tamrind sauce. I had to dilute the acid level with sugar.. It taste pretty good even thought I didn't find tamrind at the store.. It was good enough !!

[swati9indian]

This recipe also includes Jaggery or Sugar in little Qty. If we dont add sweet to this dish, for first time eaters it might cut the tongue. Tamarind+Salt+Chillies r all very hot for everyone to handle (specially kids).

[mousa01]

man i checked your videos but i couldn't find how can i make the Tamrind juice.. could you please show me that or just post it here ???

[deepthip9884]

@mousa01, this tamarind juice is aka tamarind paste. See right side there you will find it. Ok

[vinmi318]

I really like your videos... but this is not the way to make the tamarind rice... there are many more ingredients like need to add joggary, peper... etc... which will taste grate... But what is posted is not the authentic puliyogre... or tamarind rice...

especially green chillies are not used in this......

[krishnamuraliify]

@vahchef. u sir are a fantastic cook. i'm a tamil brahmin iyer but i love iyengar pulliodare most. great vids. keep it up!!!!

[DerFeindr]

Here in Mexico we make tamarind water to drink, and tamarind is a popular flavor for beverages like soda and bottled juice, do you have anything similar in India, or do you only use tamarind as a spice? I love to see how people in other places sometimes give us new ways to use different foods in new ways we did not know about, thank you Vahchef.

[vedakavya]

[ajayaruna]

Is this dish usually (or always) eaten alone? If not, what is generally served with it?

[desidol22]

@ajayaruna its generally eated by itself because it is loaded with flavor, it is great with some dahi on the side.

[ajayaruna]

@desidol22 Thanks.

[Whopzer]

hahahha love this vid, so much humor

[hafsa26]

Is there anyway we can make this without oil?

[vivraji]

In our family

1. we use "Sesame Oil " (Gingelly oil)..

2. We dry roast Turmeric and Hing separately in medium heat before adding it to the oil.

3. We use "Kabuli Channa" instead of peanuts in the puligore.

4. We season the rice with fried peanuts.

[ilovemushi]

Is that (some salt) LOL.

[mhanmathan]

its very nice. please tell me what you added in the finishing stage.

[karananjali]

To all viewers,

Can you tell how much he actually put in? Make it to your taste and stop being such a critic. He is a restaurant chef and quite frankly if your going to make food might as well have it be tasty. Salt and oil do not mean you will die young. You have to limit even your rice intake people. Eat less but eat the best. I am a registered dietician and if you eat 80% "good food" then you will be fine. No one likes a critic. This recipe turned out amazing! Thanks

[masiadefals]

I really don't want to echo the comments of other posters but I too am horrified by the amount of salt added to this dish. Perhaps it is the case that restaurants do add this amount of salt to their dishes and all that chef is showing us is this truth. If so it gives me more reason to cook at home! On a+ve note; thanks Chef for showing this recipe, I adore tamarind and am glad to have found another use for it, plus as always with your videos the tip about adding the turmuric to the cooking rice

[nickygirl99]

Actually, only a few spoonfuls of this paste is sufficient for 1 cup of rice (serves 2 after cooking). Since he does not add salt to the cooked rice, the quantity is balanced out. HTH!

However, as you pointed out, it is always better to cook at home because you not only control the quantity and quality of the ingredients used, but also it is made more hygenically! ;)

[SYLFan2008]

His cooking usually involves a lot of heat via chillies (typical of south Indian, esp. Andhra cooking), which is balanced by the salt he adds. So, it's a fair trade. However, you can make it anyway you want it to your taste.

[masiadefals]

Thx SYLFFan2008 for the reply. I have never heard about salt balancing the heat from the chillies. It's an interesting concept. I fully agree that we cook according to our own tastes, but also understand that there are many additions that are in recipes that are there because they work and add "balance". I will try adding more salt to see how it turns out..... if only on limited occasions!

[SYLFan2008]

Well..I used the word "balanced" because many Indian recipes for entrees don't add sugar, esp. south Indian cuisines. If you have a lot of heat in the food, reducing the salt always pronounces the heat more- at least that is what I have experienced. Adding the salt, makes it a "less torturous" experience. I guess that's more appropriate :).

You're welcome, btw.

[userss00]

@SYLFan2008 - yes its true. its chemistry-the heat is balanced oout by the chemical make of the salt. my dad always said cooking is a science (and an art)

[tsukuda1271]

u are using too much oil and salt..:-( not good for health

[kiten21314]

oh wow that was like 5 T of salt

[tsukuda1271]

sounds yummy but those ingredients will make u young young to die..

too much oil

salt

[nickygirl99]

The amount of tamarind paste he made is good for several days - so in that aspect, the quantity of salt and oil he is using is correct. Remember that he mixes the paste with plain unsalted rice!! Btw, the paste also tastes yummy with plain curd rice (as a substitute for pickle). Give it a try and you'll appreciate it yourself!

[klarasmith65]

nice

[rjridingtube]

Well done on an excellent cookery series !

[qualqui]

[Sublimeremembrance]

I love this guy :) Thanks to you , I actually get excited about cooking .....Thanks for all the videos , vah re vah has accomplished its purpose.....has inspired a lazy me to cook!

[pfp217]

This is a very fancy version of the tamarind rice I usually make, I'm really interested to see what the and cumin/coriander do to it!! The recipe I use calls for just red and green chilies, garlic, peanuts, tumeric, rice, salt, and tamarind paste. This looks like a great variation.

[kgvsekar1]

hi.. my mouth waters on seeing this video itself... i really wanna try.. thank u ... keep rocking

[OrangeKyo]

This is pullihora(sp?) correct?

[dragun39]

Ya Pulihora or Puliyodhara...great simple Andhra food

[unnst]

Puliyotharai is Andhra food? They make this all over south india, not just andhra.

[lalithsree]

festive fare and relish

[plumsfor2000]

This is just a tip for someone who would like to keep tamarind paste ready for mixing with rice for several days.

While making the tamarind paste, do not add peanuts. You can roast the peanut with little Sesame oil while mixing it with the rice.

Doing this the peanuts will be crunchy whenever you eat it; else the peanuts will be soaked in the paste & will loose its crunchiness.

[joysmilelol]

Yes plumsfor2000, I love to eat crunchy bean, fried chilli and peanut. yummy yummy!. Thks

[plumsfor2000]

I think if coriander, fenugreek, Sesame & chilli are dry toasted & grinded croasely & then added to the tamarind paste will also thicken the consistency of tamarind paste & will have fresh taste of all the masalas.

[vahchef]

cool , i wil love that, any day it will taste better if you make spices fresh
