I couldnt stop myself to grab a Ugadi friendly recipe from Hari Chandana's Space,as she shares some lovely collections of Traditional and creative special dishes for Ugadi. Am running this week's blogging marathon with Festivals of the month as theme. Hence i have prepared my posts specially for Ugadi though its not quite late to prepare this dish. Ugadi calls for many delightful dishes with ressembles very much the mixture feelings of life. Obviously Ugadi special foods calls for tanginess, sweetness, spiciness, sourness. When i looked for a different rice dish for this special day, i got hooked to this different but yet a tangy rice dish aka Pepper tamarind rice. The name itself tempted me a lot, obviously i couldnt stop myself to prepare them at home.
Immediately i bookmarked it to give a try. And this Miriyam pulihora was sitting in my bookmarked recipes for a long, and finally i tried for this week's theme. Adding roasted pepper powder gives a different flavor to this usual tamarind rice. And we loved it very much, served along with crispy vadas or fried potatoes, am sure this peppered tamarind rice will definitely please anyone's tastebuds. Thanking again Hari Chandana for pulling me to dish out fantastic rice dish.
