For Day 2, Week 3 of BM #47, let us go to Telangana for this tangy gravy which happens to be a favorite of my husbands'.
It was unearthed the other day in a phone conversation with my MIL. Apparently she learnt it from her Telangana neighbors in Hyderabad almost 30+ years back.
This is a tangy treat for raw onion lovers. I am not one of them but my husband and older one love this gravy!

Tamarind water and raw onion! What a unique combo.
Athamma makes this Harini and most times she never tempers it as well..I know how flavoursome this tastes..lovely picture..
Pacchi pulusu, love it though I do not make it as husband is not fond of it at all. Pacchi pulusu and pappu is a very nice combo. We add chopped green chilies instead of chili powder and roasted & chopped green chilies tastes awesome.
Can guess the flavor of this pulusu, even we do a similar rasam like this.
I too prepare a dish similar to this but I cook it and have it with rice. YUM
Wow it sounds so tangy and delicious.
Slurpy and tangy ! My EO would love this combo although I wd cut down the chillies for her. Not boiling tamarind ? Wudnt it leave a raw smell Harini ?
I am sure I would love this combo..tamarind...wow..I am drooling.
My MIL makes really good pachi pulusu. I'm not a big raw onion lover, like you, but my husband loves this dish.
