Gongura itself is very famous in Andhra Pradesh and especially Gongura pachadi(pickle) has a very special place. It is one of my favourite and especially my mom made gongura pachadi is one of the best of its kind. This time surprisingly Gongura leaves were available in Indian stores, the moment i saw the leaves, my mouth started watering......so lets start.
