The Taste of Iyengar-Style Puliyogare
Iyengar-style puliyogare is famous across Bangalore for its bold, nutty, perfectly-balanced tamarind-and-spice paste. Real puliyogare is all about the gojju — a slow-cooked tamarind paste matured with roasted sesame, peanuts, dry red chilli and jaggery until it is dark, glossy and intense. We mix it into cooked rice the temple way, finished with a crackling tempering. It keeps well, travels well, and tastes of South Indian festivals.
