Gongura — The Taste of Andhra
గోంగూర రుచి
Gongura is the leaf people from Andhra miss first when they move away. The sourness is clean, not sharp like tamarind, and it belongs with hot rice and a spoon of ghee.
The leaves are cooked down until they become a deep pickle, then finished with garlic, chilli and oil. A little goes a long way. It is the taste of home more than it is a side dish.
If you are sharing a jar with someone who has never eaten gongura, serve it with plain rice first. Let the leaf speak before you add anything else.
