GONGURA PAPPU | PULICHA KEERAI PARUPPU MASIYAL | SPINACH DAL

Today I am here with a healthy post ie Pulicha Keerai Paruppu Masiyal aka Gongura Pappu. After ages I got Gongura/Sorrel leaves in an Indian Grocery. At the moment when it caught in my eyes, I flew with joy. Immediately I started planning what to make with it. The bunch was very big so I made 3 dishes like Gongura Pappu, Gongura Rice and Gongura Chutney/Pachadi using it. Wish I get gongura often πŸ™‚

A Few Information about Gongura and How healthy it is?

Gongura/Sorrel Leaves is also called as β€œPundi Palle” in central Karnataka and Pulicha Keerai in Tamil. Gongura is a very rich source of iron, vitamins, folic acid and anti-oxidants essential for human nutrition. According to Wiki, Gongura comes in two varieties, green stemmed leaf and red stemmed.The red stemmed variety has more sourness than the green stemmed variety.
