And in my hometown, tahri is a blanket term for turmeric rice that is literally handed out on streets (everyone just waits for a turn, puts up their hands, gets a handful and consumes on spot) for free.
Its varieties include additives like chicken or meat but that's about it.
Almost always its given as a way of offering to "feed the poor" and anyone around just turns up and is given a handful.
Don't know if any other place does something similar.
Edit: yeah, plain tahri is just rice cooked with turmeric and garnished with deep fried onions or spring onions.
A way to mass feed a lot of people for cheap.
- alephnerd 4y agoMy parents use the word "Tahri" to reference the gravy in your kadhi/salan. So maybe it's just a holdover term to dig don't any pulao mixed with a tharka? At least the "tahri chawal" dish I'm looking at on google seems to be what my parents call pulao
- 2Gkashmiri 4y agoPulao is something different. Our version of rice is plain, without embellishments. A paupers food. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJP3x46PCZs https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KJP3x46PCZs And a random pulao recipe https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rkZvJ8GLaE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0rkZvJ8GLaE
