Pachi Pulusu Recipe with step by step instructions.తెలుగు వెర్షన్.

Pachi Pulusu is a stew made with tamarind juice, onions, dried red chilies, cumin seeds, curry leaves and jaggery. no heating is required for this recipe except for tempering. it is mostly prepared in the states of Telangana and Andhra. the ingredients used for tempering may change from place to place. some people add mustard seeds, garlic, and green chilies to the tempering. Jaggery is not used in some Telangana regions. jaggery is used to neutralize the tangy taste of tamarind.green chilies are used instead of red chilies in some regions.

In olden days tamarind juice is used for easing stomach discomfort and indigestion problems. but I think later it was modified as Pachi pulusu so that we can take it willingly. this goes well with all dal recipes and khichdi. My favorite one is with  Aloo fry. the combination tastes amazing.it almost tastes like Aloo chat.
