rice,
Ingredients:
Tamarind - 1 big lemon size
Curry leaves - 10
Red chillies - 4
Green Chillies - 4
Channa dal - 1 tsp
Urad dal - 1 tsp
Hing - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder - 1 tsp
Roasted peanuts - 1/2 cup
Cooked rice - 4 to 5 cups
Gingelly oil - 4 tbsp
Salt as required
To grind:
Coriander seeds - 1 tsp
Channa dal - 1 tsp
Urad dal - 1tsp
Red chillies - 3 or 4
Sesame seeds - 1 tsp
Fenugreek seeds - 1 tsp
Method:
Soak tamarind in 1 1/2 cups of water for 2 hours.
Dry roast all the ingredients one by one and powder everything together.(Note: Each ingredients require different level of roasting. Coriander seeds should turn little brown with nice aroma, channa dal and urad dal should be roasted till golden brown, sesame seeds and fenugreek seeds should start popping when roasted. If you don't have coriander seeds, use coriander powder only during the grinding process, no need to roast.)
Extract tamarind water from tamarind.
In a large kadai or pan, heat 2 tbsp of gingelly oil, add curry leaves, saute for 10 seconds, add channa dal and urad dal, saute till it turns brown, now add red chillies, slitted green chillies, peanuts, turmeric powder, hing and finally tamarind water.
When the tamarind water starts to boil add salt and half of ground powder. Close the pan with the lid. Cook the sauce till it reaches paste like consistency, it takes about 15 to 20 minutes. Check in-between if the sauce is done.
Now in a separate pan, spread the cooked rice(i cook rice with salt), add the sauce, rest of the ground powder, 1 tbsp of gingelly oil. Mix everything nicely till rice is coated with the tamarind sauce.
Tamarind rice is ready to serve, it taste better with papad.
Note: I used non-stick cookware to avoid burning of sauce.
