Is it really a festival if one does not wake up to the aroma of lemon or tamarind being cooked into steaming hot rice? How about trying something new this time? Instead of the typical lemon and tamarind, let’s try pulihora this time with Gongura….

Ingredients:

  1. 3 bundles Gongura (without branch)
  2. Jeera
  3. Onions (chopped)
  4. Green Mirchi – 3 chopped
  5. Red Dried Chilli – 10 chopped
  6. 1 cup of Groundnuts
  7. Salt
  8. Turmeric Powder
  9. Mustard Seeds
  10. Urad Dal
  11. Chana Dal

Initially, cook the rice and let it cool while we get the pulihora paste ready to mix.

Now, let us get the pulihora paste ready.

First, take a pan on a medium flame add 2 tablespoons of oil. While the oil heats up add Gongura. Mix it well while it becomes a paste. Be aware and have the eyes set on the pan to ensure the leaves do not overcook. The gongura paste is ready now.
