Tamarind rice comes from South India, famous for its handy, time-saving rice preparations that are ideally light, all-in-one meals during hot summers. Besides the two main ingredients, several spices valued for digestive properties go into this dish – fenugreek, coriander, sesame and mustard. Dry red chilies are used to spice it up while grated coconut balances the “heat”. A handful of peanuts add crunch and sesame (til) oil gives it a distinctive flavor. Great for picnic lunches or road trips!
