The 100g pack is the standard size for home use, providing enough masala for several large batches of rice.

Key Highlights

• The “Tangy” Core: This masala is heavy on Tamarind and Dry Mango notes, providing that essential sourness without being overly acidic.

• Complex Spice Mix: It includes a roasted blend of Bengal Gram, Urad Dal, and Peanuts, which adds a nutty texture and traditional “crunch” to the final dish.

• Aromatic Tempering: Eastern includes high-quality Curry Leaves, Mustard Seeds, and Asafoetida (Hing) in the blend to ensure the rice smells authentic as soon as it’s mixed.

• No Artificial Additives: The mix is free from synthetic colors or chemical flavor enhancers, relying on natural spices for its deep reddish-brown color.

How to Make Instant Puliogare

1. Rice Prep: Cook 1 cup of rice and let it cool completely. The grains should be separate (not mushy).

2. The Mix: In a large bowl, mix the rice with 2–3 tablespoons of Eastern Puliogare Masala and a tablespoon of Sesame (Gingelly) oil.

3. Resting: Let it sit for at least 15–20 minutes. Puliogare always tastes better after the rice has had time to absorb the tamarind and spices.

4. The Pro Touch: If you want it even more authentic, add a quick tadka of mustard seeds, dried red chilies, and extra roasted peanuts in sesame oil and pour it over the top.
