Gongura Pachadi

Oh, I have missed my resolution on day 1  :( so, here's the quick recipe shared by my hubby's nanamma (grandma)

For non - Andhraties, details on Gongura can be found at - http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gongura

Separate the leaves from stem and Wash Gongura thoroughly.

Fry the leaves in a pan without oil, until it becomes a paste.

Now add some salt to this paste and keep it for 3 days.

Prepare tadka with the following ingredients:

Oil

Garlic

Methi/Fengu seeds

Red chillies 

Mustard

Curry leaves

Chana dal

Let the tadka cool and then add it to the gongura paste.

Yummy Gongura Pachadi is ready :)

This will stay good for more than two weeks if preserved and used carefully.
