Pulikaichal is the Tamizh name for the tamarind paste which is used to make puliogare (Pulikaichal mixed with white rice).
Ingredients: Tamarind (Am not sure of how many gms this will be. Make two balls of tamarind each one of a palm size. That is the quantity)
To grind- Chana dhal, Fenugreek, Coriander seeds : Each about 25gms and red chillies big ones, about 12, Fried Turmeric pieces 4-5 small pieces
Jaggery - about 10gms
Salt to taste
1. First soak the tamarind in hot water for about 30mts and then extract the juice out of it. Filter this and keep aside.
2. Heat gingely oil in a deep pan and saute Chana dhal (15gms), red chillies - 5nos, groundnut (abt ten) mustard, curry leaves (a little).
3. Add the tamarind water to this and let it boil for ten-fifteen mts. Note : keep stirring
4. Add the grinded powder to this and let it boil for about 5mts. The tamarind water would have by now become like a paste
5. Powder the jaggery and add it to the paste. Let this boil for 2mts and then switch off the flame
Cheers
