Udupi Puliyogare | Puliyodharai Udupi Style


Puliyogare or Puliyadharai is a recipe made from tamarind extract along with freshly ground spice gun powder which will play a symphony in your mouth if you put them in correct proportion. This is considered as one of the prashads ( prasadham) in temples of South India. Not only that, it's the best dish for picnic or any short trip as there's no water in the dish it will stay good for long time.

Overall, a sweet- tangy sauce with crackling flavour makes you to ask "SOME MORE.... PLEASE!".
