Ananthapur Special Kaakarakaaya Pulusu
அனந்தப்பூர் ஸ்பெஷல் காகரக்காயா புலுசு
This is a special dish from Ananthapur of Rayalaseema, Andrapradesh. Kaakarakaaya is nothing but our Pagarkkai (Bitter-Gourd), which is a semi gravy recipe. Normally Pulusu would be watery. But the speciality of this Kaakarakaya Pulusu of Ananthapur would be Semi-Gravy, which goes very yummy with boiled rice or as a side dish too. Since this contains Garlic, Ginger and Onion as main ingredients, those who dont like can stay away. I got this recipe from one of my friend from Andhra Pradesh on phone today and just posting it. Will make video and post in due course of time. Meanwhile, please try this special recipe and let us have your feedback.
Ingredients : Cut 4 bitter-gourd into slices, boil in water along with little turmeric and salt, drain it and have a shallow fry in oil and keep ready.
Other ingredients are :- Salt, 2 green chillies, 2 dried red chillies, Oil as required, Ginger-Garlic Paste, Jeera, Chopped coriander leaves, Curry leaves, Turmeric powder and Chily powder 1 tsp each, 1-Tomato, finely chopped, 1/2 inch size Jaggery, Thick tamarind Juice, 4 nos sliced onions (Round shaped) and Masala Paste.
