#flavour3 - Gongura Pappu or Lentils cooked with Sorrel / Ambada greens is a traditional Andhra delicacy. It is a very healthy recipe as the greens are full of vitamins and iron. Moreover the lentil is a rich source of proteins. So a very good combination.

It is a very easy and a yummy recipe that can be made in a jiffy. This tangy lentil curry goes best with steamed rice, a drizzle of some ghee and accompanied with papad / curd chilies.
