Grandma’s recipe. Literally.
Puliogare — tamarind rice — is one of the oldest dishes in Tamil cooking. Tangy from the tamarind, aromatic from curry leaves and mustard, with a warmth from pepper and red chillies. The kind of rice that travels well in a steel lunchbox and tastes better two hours after it’s made, once the flavours have settled in.
Most people who love puliogare learned it from someone — a mother, a grandmother, an aunt. The recipe on this pouch comes from the same place. Curry leaves, sesame seeds, tamarind, the full spice set — all hand-roasted and ground the way it’s been made in Tamil temples for generations. Not a factory interpretation.
The method is simple: cooked rice, the podi, a tablespoon of oil, mix. Five minutes. The result is real puliogare — not a shortcut version of it. Hand-roasted in 5–7 kg small batches in T.Nagar, Chennai, and shipped within 10 days of roasting.
Shelf life: 8 months from date of manufacture.
Storage Instructions: Refrigerate for maximum freshness. Store in an airtight container. Use only a dry spoon.
Curry Leaves, Bengal Gram, Urad Dal, Sesame Seeds, Mustard Seeds, Dhaniya, Pepper, Jeera, Fenugreek, Asafoetida, Dried Red Chillies, Turmeric, Tamarind & Salt

1. What is puliogare?
Tamarind rice — one of the oldest and most loved dishes in Tamil cooking. Cooked rice mixed with a tamarind-spice base: tangy, aromatic, mildly spicy. Travels well in a lunchbox, tastes better as it sits, and is one of those foods that people who grew up eating it immediately recognise as the real thing.
2. Is this the same as tamarind rice or pulihora?
Yes — same dish, different names across South India. Puliogare in Tamil, Pulihora in Telugu, Puliyodarai in some Tamil traditions. The spice base differs slightly by region and household. This version follows a traditional Tamil recipe, built around curry leaves, sesame, and tamarind.
3. How much podi do I use per serving?
15g (approximately 1 tablespoon) per 200–225g of cooked rice. This makes a generous single serving or two light servings. Adjust to your taste — more podi for stronger flavour, less for a lighter finish.
4. What oil should I use?
Sesame oil is the traditional choice and gives the most authentic flavour. Groundnut oil works well too. Avoid strongly flavoured oils like coconut or mustard — they compete with the tamarind and spice base.
5. Can I eat it as a lunchbox meal?
Yes — puliogare is one of the best lunchbox foods in South Indian cooking. The tamarind acts as a natural preservative, keeping the rice good for several hours at room temperature. Mix it in the morning, pack it, eat it at lunch. It tastes better after it’s had time to sit.
6. Do I need to add tamarind separately?
No. The tamarind is already inside the podi, balanced with the spices. You only need cooked rice and oil.
7. What’s in it — and what’s NOT?
Curry Leaves, Bengal Gram, Urad Dal, Sesame Seeds, Mustard Seeds, Dhaniya, Pepper, Jeera, Fenugreek, Asafoetida, Dried Red Chillies, Turmeric, Tamarind & Salt. No preservatives, no anti-caking agents, no MSG, no palm oil, no artificial colours, no flavour enhancers. Nothing we wouldn’t put in our own food.
8. How spicy is it?
Medium. The red chillies and pepper give it a noticeable warmth but it’s not sharp. The tanginess from the tamarind is the dominant flavour — the spice supports it rather than overpowering.
9. What’s the shelf life?
[CONFIRM — update once shelf life is confirmed from label.]
10. How do I store it after opening?
Refrigerate for maximum freshness. Store in an airtight container and use only a dry spoon.
11. Is this vegetarian?
Yes. 100% vegetarian.
12. How long does delivery take?
Prepaid orders typically arrive within 48 hours in metros, 3–4 days for tier-2 cities. COD orders take 4–7 business days. We ship within 24 hours of order placement, six days a week.
13. Is COD available?
Yes, across India. There’s a ₹30 COD fee at checkout — skip it by paying via UPI or card. Prepaid usually arrives faster.
14. What if I don’t like it?
Email us at sales@friszon.com or WhatsApp 9500095444 within 7 days of delivery. We’ll refund you — including on opened pouches.
