Puliyogare

One of the easiest to make in an emergency. Maybe that is one of the reasons most of friends at college and my first workplace would get this in their lunch boxes. I for one, hated the ready mix puliyogare and have not had puliyogare anywhere other than Kadambam restaurant in Bangalore. Mummy makes good Vangi bath but even her puliyogare recipe falls short of the taste of Kadambams. I then got this recipe from a Kannada cook book and tried it out with a little variation of my own. Since the first time i prepared this, my husband and kids want this mix ready always so that they can have it as often as they feel like having it. At last, I'm satisfied with the taste of home made Puliyogare. Now, i always have puliyogare gojju stocked in my fridge always.
