About Pulihora

Pulihora, a traditional South Indian dish, is a tangy rice recipe popular in Telugu and Tamil cuisines. It is prepared with cooked rice, seasoned generously with tamarind pulp, aromatic spices, turmeric, and curry leaves, and garnished with roasted peanuts for added crunch. Pulihora combines flavors of sour, spicy, and salty, making it a staple during festive occasions and temple offerings. Nutritionally, it is a good source of carbohydrates due to the rice base, while tamarind contributes antioxidants and vitamins like B and C. The inclusion of peanuts offers healthy fats and plant-based protein. However, Pulihora can be moderately high in calories, especially if excessive oil or fried toppings are added. It’s a flavorful dish ideal in balanced portions, providing both energy and satisfaction while showcasing the rich heritage of South Indian cuisine.
