Gongura Pachadi - 2

Gongura Pachadi - a very popular andhra side dish is something to be tasted for sure.
Gongura leaves itself is tangy in taste and so the spicy pachadi makes a nice accompaniment with hot rice and ghee.

I usually prepare it with a recipe mentioned here - Gongura Pachadi

Recently one of my cousins gave me Gongura pachadi and really loved this style as well.
So decided to share it.

Find below the recipe

> Wash the Gongura leaves well and press and rinse out all the water.
> Dry roast menthe/methi seeds (1 and 1/2 tsp for a big bunch of Gongura), dry red chilles (Byadige 8 to 10). Grind it into a powder in a mixer.
> Add the washed and rinsed (there should be very less water content) Gongura leaves into the mixer, 3-4 garlic cloves - along with the above powder and grind into a smooth paste.
> Take 2 to 3 tsp of oil in a pan, add in mustard seeds, hing, above ground paste, salt, jaggery and saute in a low flame till oil releases.
> Transfer into a container and store.

The Pachadi can be stored and used for about a week when refrigerated.
Be sure to give it a try.
