Chamagadda Pulusu

Though I was born in Kerela, I studied and was brought up in Andhra. Hence my love for Andhra food. Pappu, pulusu is specialty of Andhra cuisine. This tangy sweet sour pulusu(gravy) is delicious and whenever I long for some spicy tangy food, I cook Andhra cuisine. The balanced sweet, sour and spice gives a rounded taste. This is a simple tangy dish and I am sure you will love this if you try once. Happy Cooking...
