Preparation:

Wash the Gongura leaves thoroughly and chop them. Add Onions, salt, Chilli powder, turmeric and green chillies and Chana dal to it. Pressure cook this mixture.

Alternately: Instead of cooking this mixture in the pressure cooker, cook it separately in a sauce pan and dont add chana dal to it. But cook chana dal separately and then add it to the cooked Gongura mixture.

Add rice flour to it by making a paste with water out of the rice flour. Do the seasoning and then fry the garlic pieces separatley and add it to the gongura pulusu.

If the sourness of the gongura pulusu is not enough, add some tamarind juice to it. Serve hot with rice. Tastes very good. Enjoy cooking !!!!!
