Puli sadam recipe with step by step pictures

Today i am going to share a very easy and tasty leftover rice recipe. My mom did this often whenever she has some leftover rice at home. This puli sadam is a instant recipe and it is different from puliotharai/ pulihora. Cooked rice do not stays for long time. If i cook rice at early morning, it will spoil after 8 hours at summer. If i had some leftover rice and dont want to spoil it, i make a matination with tamarind puree and the rice stays good. I even temper it after 6 hours and it is soo fresh and tastes too good. Give it a try.
