One of my earliest memories of eating 'Andhra' food. Just the mention of Gongkura can bring tears to my eyes! Tears of near anguish mingled with joy on account of the fiery nature of the pachadi which in true or traditional style is very very hot!
This dish is not one of my husbands favourites so I do not make it frequently. On the occasions when I can get my hands on the gongkura and prepare a pachadi, I wait for that first moment when I put a mouthful of hot rice mixed with the pachadi and getti pappu, not forgetting a generous dollop of fragrant ghee or 'nei' and relish the varying sour and kaaram tastes that hit my tastebuds and gets them alive.... not to mention the sensory overload to my salivary glands that has me literally drooling!
