Ingredients

  • Sorrel leaves/ Gongura - 1 cup
  • White sesame seeds - 2 tablespoons
  • Mustard seeds - 1/2 tablespoon
  • Split black lentils/ urad dal - 1/2 tablespoon
  • Asafoetida/Hing - 1/4 teaspoon
  • Dried red chilies - 3 to 4
  • Salt - to taste
  • Oil - 3 tablespoons
  • Fenugreek seeds - 1/8 tablespoon
  • Turmeric powder - 1/4 teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Wash the sorrel leaves/ gongura thoroughly and let the leaves dry completely without any moisture left, as it would spoil the chutney.
  2. Heat the pan and dry roast white sesame seeds until the aroma comes out and keep them aside in a plate to cool.
  3. In the same pan, add 2 tablespoons of oil and saute sorrel leaves/gongura until they become tender. Do not cover the pan with lid and keep it aside to cool.
  4. Heat 2 tablespoon of oil in pan. Add mustard seeds, fenugreek seeds, asafoetida, turmeric powder, red chilies and prepare tadka.
  5. In a mixer jar, add the roasted white sesame seeds and make a fine powder and keep it aside.
  6. Add the tadka to the jar and grind it to powder. To this add the sauteed gongura, salt and grind it again.
  7. Add the ground white sesame seeds to the gongura paste and finally grind to make a fine paste.
  8. Gougura pachadi is ready to be served with hot rice and ghee. If stored in a glass container with a air tight lid it would stay for a week.
