#nonvegcurries - Gongura Mamsam (mutton) is a traditional and a very popular Andhra cuisine. But here is my version of the same dish with a slight twist. Instead of the gongura greens, I have used the bottled gongura pickle. Gongura is also known as sorrel leaves, chukka or ambada bhaji.

Coming to this amazing dish, it is spicy and tangy. But you can adjust the chilli powder and the pickle depending on your taste buds. Enjoy this yummy and finger licking delicacy with plain steamed rice, jeera rice, pulao, plain biryani, naan, tandoori roti, rumali roti or just plain chapati.
