In Kovil Puliyodharai, Coriander seeds, peppercorns and groundnut is a must which differentiates this puliyodharai from regular Tamarind Rice. In my hometown Trichy, my grandmom’s house is just a step from Srirangam Ranganathar temple and I have gone there a zillion times. I never miss to buy this puliyodharai along with other prasadam’s which tastes divine. While in Chennai, I had a lot of chances to taste the Parthasarthy temple puliyodhari which is famous. Though we could not recreate the same taste as done in temple madapalli, we can try this Temple Style Puliyodharai which at least near that taste.
