Dabbakaya Pulihora

Hi Friends

I have been cooking all vegetables for last 1 week and feel bored of cooking curries. Today I planned to prepare  DABBAKAYA PULIHORA. Normally we make lot of rice items like mamidikaya pulihora, chintapandu pulihora, coconut rice etc. But this dabbakaya pulihora is little different in taste from routine lemon rice with its sweet and sour taste .

It is having excellent source of Vitamin 'C ' and rich in antioxidants.

OK let us go to prepare this delicious dish.

Ingredients

• Dabba kaya                              1
• Rice                                          Depends on requirement
• Green mirchi                             10 (sliced)
• Hing
• Turmeric powder
• Required salt

For Popu

• Oil
• Mustard seeds
• Channa dal
• Red mirchi
• Peanuts
• Curry leaves

How I did it

1. Wash and pressure cook rice how you cook regularly.
2. Squeeze dabbakaya and separate seeds.
3. Add little salt and keep aside. Otherwise juice becomes little bitter.
4. Add sliced green mirchi to dabbakaya rasam and keep it for 2 hours.
5. Take cooked rice in wide bowl and let it cool.
6. Take popu pan, add little oil and let it heat.
7. Add mustard seeds. Let them pop.
8. Then add channa dal, red michi, peanuts and curry leaves.  Let them fry.
9. Switch of the stove and add hing and turmeric powder to popu.
10. Add this popu to cooked rice and mix well.
11. Then add prepared dabbakaya rasam to rice and mix gently.
12. Based on your taste adjust salt, rice and juice.

Transfer it into a bowl and serve. Serve with a side chips or papad.

My Note

1. You can store remaining dabbakaya rasam in airtight bottle and keep it in the fridge.
2. Add turmeric powder to popu, it gives nice colour to pulihora.
3. By adding green chillies to dabbakaya rasam, green chillies absorbs sourness and tastes good.
