Anapaginjala pulusu

Описание: Anapaginjala Pulusu (Val Beans in Tamarind Gravy) primarily uses cooked Anapa beans (Val beans), seasoned with a tangy tamarind base, spicy chili, turmeric, and a fresh spice paste of coconut, cumin, coriander, garlic, and sometimes peanuts/rice for thickness, tempered with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and onions, balanced with salt and jaggery.
