A good way to show affection to loved ones is serving them a comforting dal dish that has dosakaya in it. A classic Andhra pappu kura that is packed with nutrition with an irresistable flavor. One of my favorite high protein dish! 1 In a pressure cooker, place dal, cubed dosakaya mukkalu, onions, tomatoes, green chillis, ginger and turmeric pwd. Add 2 cups of water and pressure cook upto 3 whistles. If cooking over stove top, cook till the dal is almost cooked. 2 Heat oil in a heavy bottomed vessel, add mustards seeds and as they jump around, add cumin seeds, garlic, red chillis and curry leaves and stir fry for a few seconds. 3 Add this to the pressure cooked dal and combine. Cook on slow to medium flame for a few mts till you get the consistency of your choice. 4 Serve with white rice. Preparation: 30 mts Serves 4-5 persons Cuisine: Andhra . 1 1/2 cubed dosakaya/yellow cucumber 1 onion, chopped 1 tomato, chopped (optional) big pinch turmeric pwd 2-3 green chillis, slit lengthwise 1/2 tsp chopped ginger salt to taste 2 cups water For seasoning/poppu/tadka: 1 tsp mustard seeds 1/2 tsp cumin seeds 3-4 garlic cloves, crushed 2 dry red chillis, de-seed and tear 10-12 fresh curry leaves 2 tsps oil
