BM #97 Week 1 Day 1 -

This week, I have chosen to highlight some fusion recipes which are popular at home.

This Orzo pulihora was born out of necessity. I had orzo, which is a rice like version of pasta, in my pantry for a while. I don't even remember why I bought it. 

Anyway, On this particular day, I was running short of time and I had to make something for the kids' after school snack. I thought I would just boil the orzo and see if I can use it for something. I boiled it and let it cool down a bit and I felt that the texture was closer to cooked rice and then I saw I had some tamarind sauce/pulihora gojju in the refrigerator. 

There it was, the cooked orzo mixed in the pulihora gojju made for a perfect meal idea in a jiffy.

Ingredients - 

Orzo Pasta 1 cup
Pulihora Gojju 2 tsp (or as needed)
Seasoning (Oil 2 tsp, Mustard seeds 1/2 tsp, Chana Dal 1 tsp, Curry leaves few, Asafotida a pinch)


Method Of Preparation -


Cook the Orzo pasta al dente in a pot of boiling water.

Drain and set aside the pasta. 

In a mixing bowl, add the drained pasta and the tamarind sauce(pulihora gojju).

Prepare the seasoning - In a small pan, heat the oil. Add mustard seeds, chana dal curry leaves and asafotida. After the mustard seeds start to splutter and the chana dal starts browning, remove the seasoning from heat.

Pour the seasoning into the pasta-tamarind sauce mix.

Mix well and adjust the flavors as needed.

Serve it immediately.
