Gongura Pappu Pulusu/ Sorrel Stir Fry

Hi Buddies,

This is one of my favorite recipes of my Mom-in-Law.My mom used to make chutney and sambar with it.But never had it before my marriage.I absolutely love its tangy taste and it’s best when you eat with mudda pappu (cooked toor dal).Moreover, its rich in Iron and folic acid. I borrowed this recipe from my Mom-in-law and prepare this when ever we get this (very rarely we find this here 🙁 ). Try this yummy and healthy recipe for sure.
