Tanjore Tamarind Rice

This recipe is also from Laxmi's. It was acceptable as a plain starch, but not rave-worthy. Following the recipe exactly resulted in overcooked rice and insufficient sauce to color and flavor all of it. Next time I'd halve the rice or double the sauce, and shave several minutes off the initial rice-cooking time. I got no complaints, probably because the tasting crew was distracted by the Frog/Commissary chicken curry.
