Vankaya Mamidikaya Pulusu

Vankaya Mamidikaya Pulusu or Vankaya Mamidi Pulusu is a tangy gravy using seasonal special raw mango during summer. Brinjal adds another flavour to the whole pulusu that tastes great with steamed rice.

We often make Pulusu with different seasonal vegetables to make for a delicious lunch meal. The tanginess from mango mixes with the tamarind and tomato to get a new taste that surely tastes wonderful.

Pulusu is a typical Andhra side dish served with Rice. It is thin, mostly prepared with tamarind extract or pulp. Sometimes, the souring agent is the only tomato or during the season, we add raw or unripe mango as made in today's recipe.

For today's meal, it is Vankaya Mamidikaya Pulusu along with Gatti Pappu that makes the whole meal very delicious and filling. On C4AS, check the other lunch meal.

Ingredients Used in making Vankaya Mamidikaya Pulusu

Raw or unripe Mango is the main ingredient in this thin gravy. Seasonal special mangoes are used best in this form.

This thin gravy or pulusu is sour as we use unripe mango along with tamarind extract and tomato. We should take care to make sure there is a good blend of sourness and it doesn't overpower the taste.
