 I know quite a number of people who just dont like to eat bottle gourd..so the best way to make them eat is to make this pulusu. This method works because thats what my mom did with me..haha so here it goes..

Ingredients

1 cup cut anapakaya pieces
3 slit green chillies
1 cup onion
2 tsp rasam powder
Inguva
2 tsp Tamarind paste

1 tbs Besan/gram flour mixed with 1/4 cup of water (without lumps)
A pinch of Turmeric
1/2 tsp red chili powder
Coriandar leaves for garnishing

Method

• Boil anapakaya pieces along with onion, curry leaves,green chillies. Sprinkle turmeric powder before boiling in a pressure cooker. Add 2 cups water.
• Now take a deep pan and transfer the boiled mixture. Add 1/2 cup more water and boil. Add inguva, rasam powder, tamarind paste, red chilli powder,salt and keep boiling.
• Mix 1 tbs besan in 1/4 cup of water and pour it in the boiling pulusu. It thickens and gives a gravy like consistency.
• Once the aroma comes, switch off the gas and garnish with coriandar leaves.

This pulusu is great for health and goes well with rice.
