Kovil puliyodarai

Kovil Puliyodarai is a South Indian dish, particularly popular in the Tamil Nadu region of India. It is a flavorful and tangy tamarind rice preparation that is often offered as prasadam (a religious offering) in temples, hence the name "kovil," which means temple in Tamil. Puliyodarai is also commonly prepared at home and enjoyed as a delicious rice dish.
