thoTakura Pulusu/Soup with Amaranthus Leaves

Actually we call them pulusukura, it is made with tamarind pulp i.e. pulusu and leafy vegetable i.e. kura. So the name came. It is in semi liquid consistency as it has dal also.  It tastes well with hot rice.  It does not have any specific taste of its own but tastes good only when the leaves are very tender and small in size.
