Gongura has a characteristic tartness. Gongura is a plant developed for its eatable leaves in India. It comes in 2 assortments green stemmed leaf and red-stemmed leaf. The red-stemmed leaves are more acrider than the green ones. Roan leaf is known as Gongura in Telugu, pulicha keerai in Tamil, and Pitwaa in Hindi. We need to adjust the salt and flavors with the tartness from the gongura in this dal for it to be truly heavenly; if not you will wind up with a very tart Pappu. We can make numerous brilliant plans with Gongura (Sorrel) leaves. One such yummy formula is this Gongura Pappu. Pappu is a necessary piece of the Lunch Menu in Andhra Cuisine. We can even say that an Andhra supper is deficient without a dal dish cooked with some veggie.
