Instant puli sadam is a quick & tasty variety rice that can be prepared easily. Mixed rice can be prepared with leftover rice too. With some cooked rice, Instant puli sadam can be made within 10 minutes. 

Few years back when we went to New York trip we stayed in my friend’s house. When we planned a day trip a Washington DC, my friend said she will pack Puli Sadam for lunch. 

My parents also came to that trip with us. Since traditional Pulikaichal is time consuming me and my Amma refused. We said we will eat out. My friend said she will make instant puli sadam which won’t take much time. She kept rice in instant pot and made the instant puli sadam in 10 minutes.

I was surprised to see that. She prepared the rice previous day late evening. Tamarind Rice tasted so good next day afternoon. Just like regular puliyodarai the flavors were great. That day itself I asked her for the recipe.

We use freshly ground curry powder for regular Pulikaichal. Sometimes I make that powder in advance and use the same for Pulikaichal like Brinjal rice. This particular instant puli sadam doesn’t require any grinding at all. With just pantry ingredients super quick tamarind base is ready in no time. 

The recipe reminded me of Amma’s Puli Aval. For puli Aval I generally soak Aval in tamarind extract but for this instant puli sadam I cooked the tamarind extract. I have used tamarind but if you have tamarind paste this will be even more handy.

When I used to pack lunch box for my husband this easy puliyodarai was my savior for many days. This is also great with leftover rice.  Fluffy Leftover Rice  is also great for Indo Chinese  fried rice. Tasty South Indian variety rice like vellam sadam or this Puli Sadam can also be prepared.
