Puliyogare | Karnataka Style Tamarind Rice

Karnataka Style Tamarind Rice (Puliyogare) is a real spicy treat for our taste buds. This tamarind rice is almost same as the Tamilnadu style Puliyodarai with little variations in the selection of spices for the Grinding ingredients. Andhra Pulihora, Tamilnadu Puliyodarai, Karnataka Puliyogare has lots in common and at the same time, there are slight variations which makes each of this dish so unique, yummy and delicious.

The main variation or i should say inclusion of spices in Karnataka Style Tamarind Rice is Mustard Seeds and Dry  coconut (Kopra) . These 2 ingredients along with rest of the grinding ingredients make a very spicy and flavorful spice powder which is then added to tamarind extract to make this yummy Puliyogare. I thought initially having thoughts or doubts about adding coconut in puliyodarai, but after tasting I totally become fan of this wonderful Puliyogare.
