To make this pulusu we need to have raw and tender tamarind. They are available from September to November every year. They are seasonal. They are vary sour in taste and we can make chutney with the fresh ones.
The main ingredient of this pulusu is chintakayalu. But once this recipe is made we don't find any residue of the raw tamarinds, but we get the taste. Making of this pulusu is very easy. This can be consumed only with rice.
