-Yogurt (curd) 1 cup, whisked
-Besan (gram flour) 1-2 tablespoons
-Green chilies 3-4, slit
-Ginger 1 teaspoon, finely grated

-Mustard seeds 1/2 teaspoon
-Cumin seeds 1/2 teaspoon
-Fenugreek seeds 1/4 teaspoon
-Dry red chilies 2, broken
-Curry leaves A few
-Asafoetida (hing) A pinch

Directions

- Mix Yogurt and Besan:Add Spices: Add turmeric powder, salt, and some water to the yogurt mixture. Mix well to form a smooth, slightly thin consistency.

- In a bowl, whisk together the yogurt and besan until smooth and lump-free.

- Cook the Greens: In a pot, add the chopped Chukkakura along with a little water and cook on medium heat until the leaves soften and release their juices. Set aside.

- In a separate pan, heat the oil over medium heat. Add mustard seeds and let them splutter. Then add cumin seeds, fenugreek seeds, dry red chilies, curry leaves, and a pinch of asafoetida. Fry for a few seconds until the spices release their aroma.

- Add the slit green chilies and grated ginger to the tempering. Sauté for another minute.

- Add the cooked Chukkakura to the pan with the tempering and stir well.

- Slowly pour the yogurt mixture into the pan while stirring continuously to avoid curdling.

- Allow the Majjiga Pulusu to simmer on low heat for about 5-10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it thickens slightly and the raw taste of besan disappears.

- Serve the Chukkakura Majjiga Pulusu hot with steamed rice for a comforting meal.

Comments

Chukkakura Majjiga Pulusu is a traditional dish from Andhra Pradesh, India, featuring Chukkakura (sorrel leaves) cooked in a spiced yogurt-based gravy. This dish is tangy, flavorful, and typically served with steamed rice. The sourness of the Chukkakura combined with the yogurt makes it a refreshing and delicious dish.
