How to Make Sizzling Tamarind Rice

• In a vessel, pour oil. Add channa dal, urad dal and saute till it becomes golden in colour. Add curry leaves and red chillies.
• To this, add the tamarind paste and let it simmer for 2 mins.
• Then add grated coconut, powdered ground nuts, sambhar powder or methi powder and sugar or jaggery.
• Keep on stirring the mixture till oil starts to leave at the side.
• Since very less oil is used, stir until it doesn't start sticking to the pan.
• Add the cooked rice to this mixture.
• Garnish with coriander leaves.
• Serve hot.
