Puliyogare Recipe | Karnataka Style Tamarind Rice | Puliyogare Gojju Recipe

I learnt this Karnataka style Puliyogare recipe from my School moms group friend Lakki. Recently we went to Sattvam restaurant, JP nagar for our kitty party. In their lunch buffet, I tasted Puliyogare and it was so good. Lakki told me that she can make a better version than the restaurant ones which would be more like temple style. I was so tempted by this and got the recipe from her.

Usually many people here make Instant Puliyogare with MTR puliyogare paste or powder. But my friend shared the recipe of making homemade Puliyogare gojju along with powder. So no need of store bought puliogare paste or powder for this recipe.

For Aadi 18 and Purattasi sani thaligai, I make 5 rice varieties. This time I tried Karnataka style puliyogare instead of my Tamil nadu style puli sadam/Tamarind rice. It came out so good. As my friend told, it was more like temple style puliyogare we get here. I was so happy with the result. This fool proof recipe has to be documented in my blog.

So here you go, the most popular Karnataka style Puliogare recipe with step by step pictures. Soon I will try to update it with video.
