I love puliyodarai and often take it to work, and end up using a ready mix in a hurry if I havent planned ahead. I’m going to make loads of this recipe and store it instead – thanks!

lovely picture…

love anything tangy, this is the best.

My husband said he had this rice dish in one of his indian friends house. where can i buy the tamarind pulp? can this be made by putting the sweet whole tamrinds in the food processer.. I have seen them here in the korean markets.
One more question is how can i store this paste/ gojji? freeze it like vegetable stock?
Appreciate your help..

Thanks,
Lisa..

Thanks Lisa and appreciate your interest. The tamarind pulp is available in the Indian groceries. If you get whole tamarinds then soak about a hanfdul of it in hot water and let it rest. After about 10 minutes, using your hands extract the pulp, removing the impurities etc.
Since the Gojju/paste is made without using any water and boiled , there is no need to refrigerate or freeze it. It can be kept outside for atleast a month. Hope this helps.
