Melkote Iyengar Puliyogare | Iyengar Puliyogare Gojju, a traditional and delicious dish from Melkote region of Karnataka. Melkote region is so famous for temples. The place is also known as Thirunarayanapuram. It is one of the sacred places in Karnataka. Melkote has been inhabited by the Mandyam Iyenger community since the time of Ramanujacharya. In addition to temples, Puliyogare and curd rice are 2 popular dishes from this region. Not only in temples this Puliyogare is served as prasad, but also in most of the mess and restaurants in this region. This Puliyogare has a unique flavor compared to our conventional Tamilnadu style Puliyodarai. The unique flavor of this puliyogare comes from the dry coconut, jeera and roasted gram dal. These 3 ingredients makes this gojju different from our conventional Puliyodarai. A delicious Gojju to mix with rice.

Tips for making Puliyogare:

  1. Extract thick juice out of the tamarind. We don’t need diluted version.
  2. Spread the cooked rice in a broad plate or vessel. We need to rice to cool off completely.
  3. We don’t need to roast the Roasted gram  we can add it directly to the grinding ingredients.
  4. Cook the gojju till it becomes thick like thokku consistency.
  5. Use sesame oil for more authentic flavor.
  6. We can add 2-3 tbsp of  hot oil as a top layer of gojju. The oil acts as a preservative and keeps the puliyogare gojju stay fresh even for a month.
