Mavidikaya mukkala pulusu

Mavidikaya mukkala pulusu is Andhra style side dish that goes perfectly with hot steamed rice and dollop of ghee. We can prepare this pulusu in many ways, today i am sharing my recipe which i regularly prepares at home. We can use different varieties of vegetables but you will get mangoes sour in each bite. We can also have this pulusu for idli, dosa and roti's. I used vegetables like potato, carrot, drumsticks along with raw mango pieces. 

*Today I am sharing quick version pulusu by cooking veggies in pressure cooker.

You can boil veggies in water too. 

*Instead of sambar powder I used coriander, cumin and fenugreek powders. It also gives good taste to pulusu, try it once. 

*Do not peel raw mango skin, it gives good taste to pulusu. 

*My mom likes to fry onions nd veggies for sometime before boiling, you can also try like that. 

* use good variety mango which is sour not sweet. I did not used tamarind juice in this pulusu, as I used sour mango. 

* if you are mango is not sour then add 1/4 cup tamarind juice while boiling pulusu.
