Andhra Pappu Charu Recipe | How to make Pappu Charu | (Pappu Charu recipe)

Hi friends, thank you all for visiting my website and @EATeasyvegrecipes youtube channel. Today's recipe is pappu charu. this is Andhra style pappu charu recipe I am presenting here. Though it is simple pappu charu recipe we need to have a powder called sambar karam to make it. The powder can be used in other vegetables too as a spice powder. We can get the sambar karam in stores also, but I prefer to use home made only. Click the above link to get the recipe. I picked the recipe from my MIL and some other friends. They add other vegetables like carrot, okra, baingan and tomato also. But I prefer to add only onions and some garlic.
You can find different types of charu or rasam from my website like:
Mango rasam
Pesarapappu Charu
Inguva charu
Jeera Rasam
Healthy Rasam
