Description
Puliyogare — cooked rice mixed with a thick, intensely sour-spicy-sweet tamarind paste (puliyogare gojju) — is one of the most ancient temple preparations in South Indian cooking, offered as prasad (sacred food) at Karnataka temples. The gojju (tamarind concentrate paste) can be prepared in large batches and stored for weeks. The technique of mixing hot rice with the cold gojju is specific: the rice absorbs the tamarind evenly only when both are at the correct temperature.
