Here is the masala puffed rice(pori) recipe.
Chop an onion very finely.
Chop around 10 sprigs (or more -to taste) of TENDER curry leaves & a small bunch of coriander leaves finely.
1. Take about 1/2 pkt of crispy salted puffed rice(pori) in a box wth a lid. make sure there's enough space to mix the puffed rice.
2. drizzle about 2 tbsp or more coconut oil on the pori. close the box & shake well(in circular motion) so the oil coats the pori evenly.
3. sprinkle the kongu masala pwd to taste. Close lid & mix.
(Alternatly, u can add both coconut oil & masala pwd in one step & mix. Some find it difficult to get an even coat of spices when they do both in one step. So try & decide which way u prefer)
4. Add in groundnuts(roasted), pottukadalai, the onions and the curry,coriander leaves. close lid & shake to mix or u can use a spoon to mix now.
5. Serve immediately else the pori will lose its crispyness.
The tender curry leaves & the masala pwd gives a spl taste to this snack. So don't attempt this recipe if u don't have tender curry leaves. Adjust all ingredients to taste as my measures r not exact. But don't skimp on curry leaves.
Selvi, do give the recipes a try. :)
Thanks Dev, let me buy the pori first.
I have a curry leaf plant in my house.
So not to worry about tender leaves.
I also have to make your masala first.
Thanks. Kugan98

There are many ways and methods to do
the tamarind rice.
This is how I do.
TEMPLE PULIOHARA
Ingredients:
200 grms tamarind soaked
1 tsp fenugreek roasted and powdered
50 grms peanuts roasted and remove skin
10 cashew nuts roasted
3 tbs gingelly oil
˝ tsp tumeric powder
1 sprig curry leaves
1 tsp fenugreek seeds to temper
1 tsp mustard seeds
2 tsp channa dal
6 dried red chillies
Salt to taste
To fry in little oil and powder:
10 dry red chillies
40 grms coriander seeds
40 grms channa dal
Little asafetida
Method:
Squeeze out the tamarind water, let it be watery.
Heat a wok with the gingelly oil.
Add in the mustard seeds, channa dal, dried chillies,
little asafetida and curry leaves. Sauté well.
Add in the tamarind juice and let it boil.
Add in the salt and tumeric powder.
Let the raw smell go and the puli kachal will become a bit thick.
Add in the ground powder, and boil further.
The oil should separate from the gravy, add in the peanuts,
cashew nuts and roasted fenugreek powder.
Stir well and remove.
Boil rice and let it cool.
Add enough puli kachal to the rice.
