A couple of weeks back when we went out for a buffet, one of the dishes was karupevelli sadam. I was thinking it was similar to the way I make it. On tasting it, I realized it was differently made. So I had to investigate further and saw that the rice had tamarind in it. The rice had the spice, sour and was tangy.I had been planning to make this for a while. One pot meal fits in well for the 30 mins meal. We enjoyed our meal. Though my kids are yet to start on these mixed rice, I am glad I have a list ready when they are ready to eat these mixed rice varieties.
