We also used a clay pot while cooking the vegetables. This is completely optional, but cooking in a clay pot can give the dish a beautiful traditional touch and flavor. 🫘 Ingredients 1 cup toor dal 1 lemon-sized tamarind 2 drumsticks, chopped 2 tomatoes, chopped 1 onion, chopped 6 green chillies, slit ½ tsp turmeric powder 1½ tbsp chilli powder 1 tbsp oil Salt as required 4 curry leaf stems Fresh coriander 🔥 For the Tadka 2 tbsp oil 1 tsp mustard seeds 1 tsp cumin seeds 5 crushed garlic cloves 1 chopped onion 2 dry red chillies Curry leaves A pinch of hing 👩‍🍳 What Makes This Pappu Charu Special? ✨ We cook the drumsticks and vegetables until they are nicely softened. ✨ Tamarind pulp gives the charu its delicious tangy flavor. ✨ The cooked toor dal is completely mashed before adding it to the pot. ✨ We add curry leaves with the stems for an extra traditional aroma and flavor. ✨ The Pappu Charu is simmered for around 20 minutes without a lid. This slow boiling helps the flavors come together beautifully. ✨ And finally comes the hot garlic and onion tadka — the finishing touch that brings the whole dish together! 🍚 Serve this authentic Andhra Pappu Charu with hot steamed rice and your favorite Andhra-style curry or pappad.
