Hey Indira, Stumbled upon your blog searching for recipe for Mirch Ka Salan - yummy! I was checking out other recipes and saw this post. Amma crushes raw cummin seeds and garlic to a paste and places that ball in the middle of the leaves before closing the lid on the pressure cooker - adds a very distinct taste! Just thought I’d share.

:) You eat mangoes as a sidedish to meals? me tooooo! Love them. Love gongura too.

Oops, After seeing those lush gongura leaves, I’m craving for some really sour pulichakeerai (gongura) kulambu now. you know, the kind which you put over hot rice with a dollop of ghee or sesame oil? Mmmmmmmmm!

Thank you all for sharing your experiences of gongura (ambadi). Your notes have that same nostalgic taste of gongura. Yum!

Hi Deepa: They are easy to grow, but seeds are difficult to obtain here, I think you have to get them from India.
