    here comes my gongura-royyalu (sorrel leaves-prawns)

    1/2 kg prawns,
    2-3 bunches of gongura..
    2 big onions
    5-6 green chillies,
    red chilli pwdr,
    ginger-garlic paste
    salt,
    turmeric
    tamarind a small ball
    tempering ingredients:
    senagapappu,minapappu, red chillies, lot of garlic(crushed),kadipatha, jeera, mustard..

    first clean the prawns, add ginger garlic, salt, red chilli pwdr n turmeric..marinate it for 15-20 min while u get other stuff ready..
    then in a pan, take cleaned sorrel leaves,3 green chillies slit, one onion coarsely cut, little turmeric n salt..put on stove till the water evaporates and it becomes a paste..towards the end when water evaporates, you can add tamarind so that it becomes soft by the time it is done..take this aside and if u have mortar and pestle just put the mixture and do dink chak dink chak(vahchef style)..
    meanwhile on another stove, take oil in a pan, add green chilles left, 1 remaining onion finely chopped and when they turn brown add marinated shrimps and make curry..add seasoning if required. and cook till oil comes out.
    now in a pan, take oil for tempering( a bit more than usual) then add lots of crushed garlic and usual tempering ingredients and then put in the sorrel leaves paste..cook for 5 mins..then add the shrimps curry..mix and add a small cup of water..let this be on stove for 15-20 mins on simmer..
    tastes great with rice..
    this recipe never fails me and is a favourite in my family..

    Challa atlu (when u have no batters at home)

    2 cups rice flour,
    1 cup curd,
    1 big onion (finely chopped)
    3 green chillies(finely chopped)
    salt as per taste
    coriander(optional)
    jeera(option)
    Mix all the above ingredients into a batter,like dosa batter, if required can add water..take a mookudu(dosa pan doesnt work that great)or a small pan and add a teaspoon if oil..when it becomes hot just pour the batter with a laddle..it spreads by itself if using a small flat pan..when it is golden brown flip to the other side and take it off when cooked..works great as evening snack with or w/o chutney

    Thanx kcb !!! Awesome recipe !!!

    This mango dal can also be eaten with ragi sankati :)

    In my case, we dont use onions and garlic for the dal at all! I cook the dal separately!!

    I put the tadka of jeera, mustard, curry leaves, green chilies and hing and then add the mango pieces to the tadka and let it soften - And then add the cooked dal, turmeric and salt at the end!

    Many times depending on the mango's sourness, my dal wont cook if I keep with the mango!!

    Take two cups of majjiga ( a little sour). Add salt, a pinch of turmeric powder. Then thalimpu with Aavalu(mustard seeds), let them crackle before putting other things. Then a one fourth spoon of jeera, a pinch of Vamu (ajwain), a pich of hinge and curry leaves (a few). I add a pinch of methi powder( not much,if you put much a bitter taste would develop). Add this popu or thalimpu to the prepared majjiga. We call it menthi majjiga also.

    Thanks Sai3A21 for the feedback and the info about the restaurant. I heard Ulavacharu is good for people suffering with kidney stones.

    I am going to visit India soon, definitely this time I am going to visit that restaurant in Hyderabad.

    Cheers.
