METHOD - STEP BY STEP PICTURES

Wash and soak raw rice for 15 minutes. Wash and chop vegetables, onion, tomato. Heat oil in a kadai. Saute cinnamon, cloves, cardamom, onion, tomato, ginger, garlic, red chilli, green chilli, mint and coriander leaves. Lastly add coconut and switch off the flame. Cool down. Grind to a slightly coarse and thick paste. Set aside. Heat oil in a cooker base. Saute bayleaf, kalpasi. Add the chopped onion, chopped vegetables, salt and ground masala paste. Saute for a minute till nice aroma wafts through the house. Add water and mix well. Check for salt and spice taste. Pressure cook in low flame for one whistle. Open the cooker after the steam is released. Fluff the rice gently and serve hot with raita.

Note

Adjust the quantity of chillies as per your taste. For variations, you can grind all the ingredients raw without sauting. But the taste and flavor would be completely different. Water quantity varies based on the rice we use. For basmati rice, soak it for 15 minutes and use 1: 1.5 cups of rice and water. For jeera rice, 1:2 ratio without soaking. For most of the Karnataka rice varieties, Sona masoori rice is used. So I have used the same in this recipe. You can also use knol khol / Kholrabi along with other vegetables. Some hotels use this veggie too.

  
  Easy and yummy hotel style Karnataka rice is ready to serve. Enjoy with onion raitha !

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.

1 cup = 250ml Lilva beans / Hyacinth beans / Avarekalu - 1/2 cup Sona masoori rice - 1 cup Water - 2 cups Cooking oil - 2 tbsp Bay leaf - 1 Black stone flower - 1 Cardamom - 1 Big onion – 1(finely chopped) Tomato – 1 (-do-) Coriander powder – 1/2 tsp Salt - as needed To grind Coconut - 2 tbsp Cinnamon - 1 Cloves - 2 Green chilli - 2 to 3 Ginger - 1 inch Garlic - 5 cloves Mint leaves - few Coriander leaves - few

HOW TO MAKE AVAREKALU RICE BATH

1. Wash and soak Sona masoori water in 2 cups of water.
2. Grind all the ingredients given under “to grind” to smooth paste.
3. Heat oil in a cooker. Add bay leaf, cardamom and black stone flower.
4. Saute onion till transparent. Add tomato and saute till mushy.

METHOD - STEP BY STEP PICTURES

Wash and soak the Sona masoori rice in 2 cups of water. Set aside. Wash Avarekalu and set aside. Grind all the ingredients given under “To grind” to a smooth paste. Wash the avarekalu. I have used Hitikida avarekalu ( i.e squeezed ones). You can use whole ones with skin. Heat oil in a cooker base. Saute bay leaf, cardamom and black stone flower. Saute onion till transparent. Add tomato and saute till mushy. Then add the ground masala paste and saute for few minutes. Add avarekalu and saute for a minute. Add soaked rice along with water, coriander powder and salt.

Note

I have used Hitikida avarekalu. You can use whole ones. For variations, you can add more vegetables like carrot, beans and potato. For variations, you can saute all the ingredients given under “to grind” in little oil and then grind to smooth paste.
