South Indian Tamarind Rice

Heat oil in a pan.

Add mustard seeds and let them splutter.

Add urad dal and toor dal, and sauté until golden brown.

Add chopped onions and sauté until they turn translucent.

Add soaked tamarind along with the water, coconut grates, sambar powder, salt, and jaggery.

Cook the mixture until it thickens and the raw smell of tamarind disappears.

Add the cooked rice to the mixture and mix well until the rice is evenly coated with the tamarind mixture.

Cook for a few more minutes, stirring occasionally, until the rice is heated through.
