Summer season, time to go out sun bathing, enjoy beach parties and relaxation. Along, with pleasure the season brings in tanning, dehydration, heat and hot air. Especially, cites which have no coastal line suffer extreme rough climate. There are certain things which we can do to keep our self-fit. Drink ample of water, eat more fruits and light food. Here, is one of my favourite summer recipe – Tamarind Rice.
Most light to eat and easy to cook. These tangy rice are quiet popular in Southern India and taste the best when eaten with cool curd.
