Puliyogare, Karnataka style:

2-3 Dry Red chillies
1 tsp Mustard Seeds
1 tsp Fenugreek Seeds
2 tsp Chana Dal
1 tsp Urad dal
1 tsp Pepper Corns
1 tsp Urad Dal
1/2 tsp Turmeric
1/4 tsp Asafoetida

2 tbsp Dry Coconut

To Season:
1 tbsp Oil
1/2 tsp Mustard Seeds

How To:

1. First roast and grind the 1st masala and the 2nd, keep separately.
2. Season with mustard etc. and then add Tamarind juice. Simmer until raw smell goes, then add the 1st masala. Cook until thick and oil floats on top.
3. It's time to add the 2nd powdered ingrediants along with salt and sugar. Stir and take it off of the heat to cool a little.

Alternately, you can use any store bought MTR PULIYOGARE POWDER instead of making all those powders.Personally I like to make my own spices.Hope you try my version and enjoy the delicious Puliyogare.

Enjoy!
