Puli Kichadi or just "Kichadi" as we call it.This is a popular side dish for curd rice in our household.Mom tells me this is a well known peasant dish, which they use have regularly with "Pazhaya sadam"( a day old rice).My father and i love this one especially with some pazhaya sadam.Believe me, this is the best combo for curd rice than any pickle and my fav mainly because NO COOKING...:D.This is my entry to this month's JFI - Tamarind hosted by Sig of Live to Eat.Thanks to Indira for originating this nice event.
Ingredients
Small onions - 10 (chopped)
Green chilli - 2 (chopped)
Tamarind - small amla size
Salt - as needed
Method
Soak tamarind in 1 cup water.Take out the tamarind water.In that add chopped onions,green chillies and salt.Mix everything well with clean hand.Mixing with our fingers makes it tastes better,according to mom.

In andhra it is called 'Pachi Pulusu'
I remember my room mate in college preparing this whenever she was tired of the hostel food and wanted to change her palette...she used to get the ingredients from the hostel kitchens.
