About Puliyodharai Mix
This is a wet paste, not a powder — tamarind, gingelly oil and spice cooked together until the oil separates and floats. That separation is the preservation; nothing else is added.
The oil layer on top is meant to be there. Stir it back in.
One jar makes roughly eight cups of rice. Temple proportions: enough that the rice is properly coated, not so much that it turns to slush.

Travel food, solved
Took this on a two-day train journey. Mixed it into rice in the morning and it was still perfect at night. Tastes like the temple prasadam, which I assume is the intention.
Oil separation is normal, do not panic
Opened it and thought it had gone off. It has not — the oil layer is the preservation and you stir it in. Says so on the page, I did not read it. Excellent product.
Do not skip the peanut tempering
First time I just stirred the powder through rice and it was fine but flat. Second time I did the tempering with peanuts the way the page says and it was the real thing. The instructions are there for a reason.
