Salt , to taste
Sesame oil , oil for cooking
1 teaspoon White Urad Dal (Split)
1 teaspoon Chana dal (Bengal Gram Dal)
2 teaspoon Roasted Peanuts
1 sprig Curry leaves
1/4 teaspoon Bhindi (Lady Finger/Okra)For Pulihora Masala
1 teaspoon Coriander seeds
2 teaspoon Sesame seeds (Til seeds)
1 teaspoon Chana dal (Bengal Gram Dal)
2 Dry red chilli

Method:

To begin making the Andhra Style Gongura Pulihora Recipe, wash the Gongura leaves well and finely chop them. Have some cooked rice ready and keep it aside.
In a skillet, dry roast the ingredients mentioned in the Pulihora masala until browned and crisp. Ensure to roast on low to medium heat so the aromas of the dal and coriander come through. Once well roasted grind into a powder. Keep it aside in the mixer grinder.
In the same pan add the Gongura leaves and saute them for 2 minutes until it softens. Add this softened leaves to the pulihora masala which is still in the mixer grinder.
Blend the Gongura masala together until you get a almost smooth paste, without adding any water. Keep aside.
In a heavy bottomed pan, heat a tablespoon of oil over medium heat. Add the mustard seeds, curry leaves, asafoetida and allow it to crackle. Add the Gongura Masala, turmeric powder, salt to this seasoning and saute for about 8 to 10 minutes on medium heat until it becomes like a pickle like chutney. My tongue is feeling the taste now itself....hot sour yumminess....
Once the Gongura Pulihora masala is ready, add the cooked rice and gently tossed in the pulihora masala until all the rice is well coated with the masala. Check the salt and adjust to suit your taste.
Cover the pan and allow the flavors to get absorbed into the rice - for about 4 to 5 minutes. Turn off the heat and give the Gongura Pulihora Rice a stir and serve.

Serve the Gongura Pulihora to your loved ones.....I bet they all will love this yummy pulihora version......
