Bendakaya Pulusu recipe is an authentic south indian style andhra region bendakaya pulusu or a tamarind gravy which is made with bendakaya that is okra in english and bhindi in telugu.

Some more interesting bendakaya and bhindi recipes:

  • bhindi ki sabji
  • bhindi fry or ladies finger fry

Many vegetables are cooked in tamarind gravy and non veg too goes well with the pulusu kind gravies and some of the sour gravies on the blog are pachi pulusu , fish pulusu and all these taste tangy and delicious….

Also try pulihora recipe too which is also a tamarind based rice recipe and other sour curries on the blog are moru kachiyathu which is a simple dahi curry.

Pulusu basically is a tamarind gravy and most of the vegetables are tried as pulusu such as benadakaya pulusu, sorakaya pulusu, kakarakaya pulusu, egg pulusu, pachi pulusu etc…

I have tried many pulusu recipes and these recipes taste yummy and someone who prefers tangy taste in food can make them and have it with hot rice.

If one comes to south india tamarind gravies are mostly found and they are called as pulusu with vegetables or we can even make them with non veg recipes like fish and chicken.

Pulusu or pulusu kura or koora is mostly made in a similar way everywhere and some like to give tempering or tadka in the beginning or some prepare it without giving tadka…

Here I have not given tempering and it tastes really awesome…They go perfectly with steamed rice and with some fries. These can be made in many variations and they are a wonderful way to make different vegetables.

Along with tamarind gravy, pulusu also takes onions and chopped tomatoes which forms the gravy.

Below are the recipe details for pulusu recipe which is easy and simple in making…

    This sounds great! I just made eggplant (brinjal) pulusu. Wondering what else to serve it with? What other dishes go well with pulusu? Something spicy, I think. But since I’m not Indian, I’m not really sure what. A poriyal, maybe? I’m looking for all-veg accompaniment. Thanks!

      Hi Maggie, we usually make veg stir fries or any fries to eat with pulusu recipes or any vegetable side dish too goes well with it…
