I learnt to create Gongura Pappu or Khatta Bhaji Dal as known as in North from the sis's mother-in-law she's one awesome prepare, steady but very slow with lots of persistence makes everything with your love and care I suppose I'm able to not be like this for me personally things are multi-tasking. Gongura papuu (dal) is yet another popular recipe from Andhra. it's taste scrumptious and incredibly simple to prepare just in couple of steps and minimal ingredients. If you want gongura (sorrel leaves/khatta bhaji/Pulichakeerai) or sour food then you'll love this humble dal too.
When I pointed out within my Parwal Aloo Sabji publish I'd a brief India trip and that i chose to make this gongura pappu together with gongura pachadi (chutney) and aloo parwal sabzi for supper, I understand it's strange combo of South and north recipes however I needed to make new things that is what every keep asking me make new things!
Everybody loved the pachadi (chatni) this also dal but pachadi was the obvious champion. I required couple of pictures before every things will get polished as obtaining the fresh gongura and parwal is tough in Singapore. Here Gongura Pappu for you personally.
