Tamarind Rice

As i told earlier, our blogging marathon took a new avatar this time and from this month onwards, we guys will be running 3 days of non stop blogging. I have already run three weeks of blogging marathon, this week i choosed an interesting theme called cooking with readymade stuffs. Being a passionate cook, i love cooking food from scratch,but somehow sometimes i love foods prepared quickly with readymade stuffs.

Last year,when we went to India, i couldnt stop myself buying many store bought spice powders for making different dishes, obviously we came back here with loads of readymade spice powders. One among those spice powders was this tamarind rice powder, initially i dont want to pick this powder. But my H was surprised to see this spice powder and insisted me to get them by saying may be a day he will make some tamarind rice with this readymade spice powder. But it never happened coz he dont have enough time to cook also he was quite busy with his office stuffs. When i choosed this cooking with readymade stuffs, i immediately wanted to finish this powder and prepared few days back this tamarind rice. Seriously this spice powder is super handy,prefect for bachelors and definitely very quick to prepare your rice.Do check the other marathoners running this 17th edition of blogging marathon here.
