The “rule” I follow is, if the recepie is supposed to be sour, say tamarind rice you have to add fenugreek as it adds bitterness and cuts through the sourness a bit.
Further, some other weird rules I follow is, if tamarind goes in then jaggery goes in. Example: Rasam, Sambar or even tamarind rice haha.
Can you tell me which country/region did you get the recepie from? Just curious about the use of fenugreek because in my culture they use it very specifically and never for a curry powder.
I am a south Indian BTW
Blender/mixer grinder as they call it in India is super essential for me. It literally is my “third hand” while cooking.
Ffs why did I think these meme was about using genAI to generate some python code
One of the reason’s they are super rich is because they are morons
I kinda dont see a problem “boring” shitty websites that do its job. For example Wikipedia hasn’t changed much and it’s still my most used website, it gives me a good sense of familiarity and I know exactly what to find where
Maybe I am weird but I kinda preferr boring TBH
Interesting but to make it interesting Bengali cuisine have a lot of sea food dishes. Albeit Bengal is in east of India.
Also tamarind rice is very easy and simple to make.
Ingredients 2 tbsp of groundnuts 2 tsp of urad dal (if available) 2 tsp channa dal (if available) 1 small lime sized tamarind soaked in water 1 brown onion sliced 1 green chilli sliced 2 cups cooked rice 2-3 tsp salt (according to preferance) 1 tbsp brown sugar/ palm sugar/ jaggery 1-2 tbsp oil to saute (neutral oil such as sunflower or peanut oil preferred) Curry leaf (if available)
Method
In a pan, heat oil until medium hot, add peanuts let it cook for a while, add urad and channa dal saute until crispy/crunchy set aside.
In the same pan add a bit more oil, saute onions, green chilli and curry leaves until you feel right. Squeeze the tamarind and add the tamarind water, add brown sugar cook until the mixture turns jammy. Turn off the gas, add rice and salt accordingly mix it well until rice soaks in the colour of tamarind.
Woala enjoy!!!
