When it releases nice aroma then, add in the Tamarind Purée & mix well, also add in the salt & jaggery (to balance the sourness), sauté & bring to a boil- once starts boiling, reduce the flame to medium-low & cook for about 10 mins time until the raw smell of the Tamarind goes off
Now, it becomes quite richer & thicker in it's consistency and that’s how it should be...Take a large serving plate/bowl- Add in it the Cooked Rice & then, pour in it- a few servings of this freshly made Tamarind Gravy...
Give it a nice mix & allow it to sit for about half an hour’s time to the aroma of the Tamarind Masala Gravy well incorporated into it... Our Tamarind/Puliyogare/Puliyodharai Rice is ready to be served hot and deliciously decadent & aromatic
