This dish always brings back memories of train travel, picnic, a trip to the beach, etc. This variety of rice was prepared for long journeys as it can sustain long periods of warm temperature. Also, due to its rich flavor, it could be eaten on the go without a side dish.
Puliyodarai or Puli Sadam is one of the many variety rice from the southern part of India. Spice Powder plays an important role in preparing Puzikaachal (a liquid) which is the main ingredient in preparing the Puliyodarai. Puliyodarai is also prepared in temples as an offering to the God and then distributed among the devotees. The preparation is also called Temple Puliyodarai.

Raw Rice – 1 cup
Gingelly Oil (Sesame Oil / Nalla Ennai) – 1 tbsp
