Dappalam - Vegetable Tangy Gravy

This week happens to be the last week of BM #42. I chose to explore some of my bookmarks from the mega marathon in April, 2014. This surprisingly won the hearts of my family. 

The first time I heard about Dappalam was in a famous movie song called 'vivaha bhojanambu' from the Telugu film 'Mayabazar'. 

I was not aware of this tangy pulusu when I first heard it in he song when I was a child, nor were there any discussions about this. But when I saw this in the last mega marathon, my interest was re-ignited and so here I am for Day 1, with this super hit tangy gravy or simply put, pulusu .

  8. Such a lovely medley of veggies, this tangy gravy will definitely tickle my tastebuds.

     
  9. This looks a lot like Khatkhate that they make it Goa. All vegetables in one curry.

     
  10. I heard of dappalam and it was also prepared at my place when we were going up. I have not eaten this and nor is it prepared anymore at home. I wonder why it is no longer cooked at my place. I vaguely remember the taste now.

    Nice recipe.
