Varagarisi Puliyodharai

#VaragarisPuliyodharai  #KodoMilletTamarindRice : #Varagarisi -  #KodoMillet can also be used just like normal rice to prepare various mixed rices.

Today I tried puliyodharai with varagarisi sadam. It came out very well. Only the shape of the grain is like javvarisi ( sego - sabhudana ) but tastes like rice only. I feel varagarisi sadam is even more tastier than normal rice.

Ingredients :
Varagarisi                                      : 1/2 Cup
Water                                            : 1 Cup
Pulikachal                                     : 2 Tsp ( adjust )
Salt                                               : 1/2 Tsp ( adjust )
Red chilly powder                          : 1/4 Tsp ( if needed )
Gingelly oil                                     : 3 Tsp

Gram dhal                                      : 1/2 Tsp
Pea nuts                                         : 2 Tsp
Curry leaves                                   : 10

Method :
Varagarisi usually have small stones and sand mixed with it.
So clean thoroughly before cooking.
Pressure cook for three whistles and cook five minutes on slow flame.
Take out only after steam completely subsides.
Transfer into a wide mouthed basin and add two teaspoon of oil.
Spread out with a spoon without mashing the rice.
Keep under a fan.

When the rice cooled down add Pulikachal , salt and red chilly powder.
Mix well.

Heat a kadai with a teaspoon of oil on a stove over medium heat.
Fry gram dhal and ground nut till it turns golden color.
Then add curry leaves and turn off the stove.
Transfer on to the prepared mixed rice.

Relish with pappad, vengaya vathal or any curry of your choice.
