Gongura pickle is a very popular authentic Andhra pickle variety on the lines of aavakai. Gongura is used to prepare dishes as gongura pappu , gongura mutton , prawn , chicken , pachadi etc... I love the fiery sour taste of pickle that blends so beautifully with the blandness of plain rice separated and mashed lightly with some ghee.
