Pulusu is an authentic curry from Andhra Pradesh . It is made with a variety of vegetables in the tangy tamarind gravy with the addition of spices for flavouring. Bendakaya means bhindi in Telugu. Here is the recipe of tangy bhindi curry. It goes well with plain rice.
This month in our group,"Shhhh Cooking Secretly" I am paired with Sujata Roy. I made this curry with the 2 ingredients selected by her, Bhindi and Tamarind. Do visit her blog "Batter Up With Sujata" for delicious Bengali recipes and more.
Ingredients:
Bhindi / okra .... 250 gms
Onions ............ 1 small (sliced)
Garlic cloves .... 7-8 (lightly crushed or whole)
Tamarind juice .. 4-5 tbsps.
Coriander powder .. 1 tsp
Cumin powder ...... 1 tsp
Red chilli powder .. 1/2 tsp
Turmeric powder ... 1/4 tsp
Green chillies ........ 1-2
Coriander leaves ... handful
Jaggery ................ 1 tbsp (powdered)
Salt ..................... to taste
Oil ...................... 2 tbsps
Mustard seeds ..... 1 tsp
Fenugreek seeds ... 1/4 tsp
Dry red chillies ... 2-3
Curry leaves ........ 1 sprig
Asafoetida ........... 1 pinch
When they crackle, add the red chillies, curry leaves and the garlic pods (lightly crushed or whole).
Stir fry until garlic is slightly brown. Add the sliced onion and slit green chillies. Saute for a minute until onion is translucent.
Simmer until the bhindis are tender and the gravy is thick.
Finally add the coriander leaves.
Served with Rice and Andhra Pappu ..
