Puli means ‘tangy’ or ‘sour’ in South Indian languages, referring to the characterizing use of kokum or tamarind as one of the main ingredients.
Pulihora gojju (paste) or Pulihora podi (powder) is often pre-made at homes in southern India and stored for months. It is mixed with cooked rice in a pan to make pulihora instantly.
