Tamarind rice recipe is a popular recipe of South Indians. This dish is traditional recipe of South. This dish is also known as Pulihora which means sour rice. Puli means sour. It is blended with spices, tamarind water and rice.

Tamarind rice recipe can be prepared and carried on our journey. It is yummy and very delicious rice. Authentic way the recipe is prepared in two step the tamarind boiled with spice and rice separately and then mixed together.

I have modified this recipe, it is the same taste but prepared in easy, simple and quick method by merging the tamarind and rice together. Tamarind rice can be served with rasam, I have served this recipe with aloo tamator rassa.
