About Munakkaya pulisu

Munakkaya Pulusu is a traditional South Indian dish originating from Andhra Pradesh, renowned for its tangy and flavorful profile. The dish is made using drumsticks (munakkaya), tamarind juice, tomatoes, onions, green chilies, and aromatic spices like turmeric, mustard seeds, and curry leaves. Drumsticks are a nutrient-packed addition, rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals like iron and calcium. Tamarind adds a distinct sourness while contributing antioxidants and improving digestion. The dish is typically served with steamed rice, making it a wholesome, plant-based meal. While it provides essential nutrients, the potential excess of oil or salt can be minimized for a healthier version. Munakkaya Pulusu is celebrated for its balance between nutrition and spiced, comforting flavors typical of Indian cuisine.
