Gongura Pulusu..Kadoi alasu!!

After a busy day’s work at the office and getting back home you want to eat something nice tasty and at the same time healthy. Gongura pulusu suits all those requirements.

Ingredients:
* Gongura
* Chana Dal
* Menthulu
* Mustard seeds
* Red Onions
* Garlic
* Green Chillies
* A pinch of turmeric

Pluck and chop Gongura leaves to medium size. Boil it with chana dal in a pressure cooker. After 3 whistles stop the cooker and set aside for cooling off. Once cold, open the cooker and drain the water off. Slice onions into thin and long slices. Also chop chillies and garlic.

Heat a pan and put a couple of spoons of oil in it. Put mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds (menthulu) in the oil and when the mustard seeds splatter put chopped chilli and garlic. Once garlic is fried and turns brownish put chopped onion and fry till golden brown. Add a pinch of turmeric and fry it for 30 seconds. Now put the boiled chana dal and gongura leaves in it. Add some salt chilli powder according to taste and cover it to cook. Keep an eye on it so that it does not get burnt at the bottom. Let it cook for 8 min and then add some water to it.

If you think that gongura is not sour enough then you can also add a little bit of tamarind paste for that sour touch.

Adari Poya Gongura pulusu is now ready for serving.
