    Pulihora Recipe is very simple and flavourful rice. It is a very popular dish in south India and it is served as ‘Prasadam’ in most of the temples. The process of making this rice is started by making tamarind paste with grounded spices and then mixing it with steamed rice. There are so many variations in preparing this rice. I learned this recipe from my Amma.

    This delicious rice is also called as puliyogare you can prepare this even with leftover rice. I remember my mom used to make this rice for special occasions.

    I prepare this Pulihora or Lemon Rice every Tuesday as a ‘Naivedyam’ for god along with curd rice and potato fry. This is a fixed menu for Tuesday lunch. I make this Pulihore paste in bulk and store in an airtight jar for up to 1month in the fridge. It comes very handy when I am busy in the morning with kids.

    Sending this as my 21st Day recipe to Blogging Marathon.

      One of the classic prasadam recipes of the South. We do love puliodharai and amma made it for all our trips. This one reminds me of childhood days.

      I love Pulihora rice, the tangy and spicy flavours in it. But I use the store bought one , never made fresh at home, will try to make it at home now.
