Gongura is a green leafy veggie which has a sour taste. Its a quintessentially a Andhra cuisine. If you visit any of the aunthentic Andhra restaurants, you would definitely find gongura pickle on your platter. With this leafy veggie we can prepare gongura pachadi, gongura pickle or gongura dal. Non-vegetarians even use gongura in combination with mutton and is a specialty in itself. Gongura is a very rich source of Iron, Folic Acid. Gongura is known as "pulichakeerai" in Tamil.
