      You can get fresh leaves only in India, I brought mine from there and some Indian stores in USA have them but not sure exactly where. Just call and request if they can order for you.

      Thanks!

    I tried this today and everyone in my house loved it. My husband said it tastes like kovil puliyidharai. Thanks for the recipe. It’s going to be my go to recipe for puliyodharai. The best part is the powder which I can store in the fridge and quickly make the puliyidharai whenever I want.

      So happy to hear Chandrika, yep that powder is a life saver for weekday lunch box packing… it will be done in minutes, that pepper powder also plays a good role in it. Glad you all enjoyed and thanks a million for writing a feedback. Happy cooking!

      Elia,
      I’ve used Idhayam Sesame oil which is mild flavor sesame oil, will work great for this recipe. Toasted sesame oil is very strong in flavor and if using that you got to add very little. I’m not sure whether these are 100 % pure but would luv to know if something like that exist! Thanks.

      Kavitha, it well turn out good, there’s always room for adjustment in this recipe. Reserve some cooked rice and Puli gravy, so that you can adjust later. Make sure you use the regular tamarind instead of the ready made puli paste. Let me how it turned out, thanks and goodluck!
