This will store in the fridge for up to a month and can be added to
rice when needed. Add a little hot water if very cold.

Bit of fried onion and garlic mixed with the rice and tamarind

This tamarind rice travels very well wrapped in a banana leaf, outer-wrapped in
newspaper and tied with thin string. Throw the “plate” out of the train window when
you’ve finished!
