Gutti Vankaya Pulusu-Andhra Style/ Ennai Kathirikai Kulambhu
I love this Gutti vankaya pulusu or koora, its so tasty and you can easily get hooked to this curry. Its also called ennai kathirikai kulambhu in tamil but it slightly varies. This is more like Andhra style and I love it a lot. Its def guest pleasing recipe. My mom makes it so tasty even my 6 yr old daughter loves it. Try adding ghee when you feed the kids, they will fall in love. I can guarantee it. Goes well with dosa and chapathi but best when paired with rice. I also have fry version of this. Its called Gutti vankai fry,try with rasam or sambhar taste so heavely....
