Andhra Bachalikura Ava Pulusu Recipe | How to make Bachalikura Ava Pulusu Andhra Style | (side dish for rice)

Hifriends, thank you friends for visiting my website and @EATeasyvegrecipes youtube channel. Today's recipe is andhra bachalikura ava pulusu. Bachali kura is called Malaysian spinach or chinese spinach in English. We can make dal, ava pulusu i.e. stew with mustard masala and also curry clubbed with elephant foot yam aka kandabachali kura. Kandabachali kura is considered to be the most esteemed curry in every occasion mainly during marriages. All of them have to be accompanied only with hot piping rice.

The recipe I am mentioning will be in semi liquid consistency. Bachali kura ava pulusu is a mixture of sour and bitter taste. Sour because of the tamarind we use and bitter because of the little mustard seeds we use in it. Ava pulusu is mainly made only in the eastern parts of Andhra Pradesh. Any Ava pulusu is a no onion and no garlic recipe.
