Ingredients
3-4
tbsps
Puliodarai Paste
3
cups
Cooked Rice
1
tbsp
Sesame Oil
½
tsp
Salt
¼
cup
Cooked Black Chick Peas
Instructions
Prep - Work:
Cook the rice and allow it too cool. Mixing hot rice makes it all mushy. So always mix the puliodarai in the cold rice.
Boil the chickpeas and drain the water and set aside. Do not overcook the chickpeas.
Steps:
In a big bowl (I used the vessel in which I made the puliodarai) add the rice, oil, and salt.
Then add the cooked black chickpeas. Mix them all.
Now add the puliodarai paste and mix.
That's it. Serve it with appalam or vadagam.
Notes
Instead of black chickpeas, you can use garbanzo beans, cowpeas. I haven't tried any other beans. These three go well in puliodarai.
You need 1 tbsp of sesame oil. But if you feel it subsides the spice, you can add more puliodarai mix or reduce the oil.
