Sorakaya / Bottlegourd / Lauki Pulusu is a delicious tamarind based gravy. I prepare this pulusu which tastes little sweet and tangy. Sorakayi pulusu is a nice combination with mudda pappu (thick dal) which comes under a traditional andhra meal usually done during festivals or any pujas.

Sounds good. If I cannot get sorakayi what would be a suitable substitute? Celery perhaps?
ReplyDeleteU can substitute with lady's finger(bendakayi) or yam(kanda gadda) or taro root(chamadumpa) vegetables ..... Also u can try this with fish and prawns .... I will be posting fish pulusu in the coming weeks ...
