One of my Mom's recipes, and I absolutely love it! A must try.
Ingredients:
Bachali Koora (2 cups)
4 cups Sorakaya(medium size pieces)
Bendakaya ( 1 cup, cut into approx 2in length)
Majjiga (Creamy is the best)
Senagapappu ( 3tsps, soaked in water)
avalu (1 tbsp)
Minappapu
Endu mirapakayalu
karivepaku
jeelakarra
menthulu
pasupu
dhaniyalu (1/2 tsp)

Method:
Soak senagapappu in water for 1 hr
Grind the pappu, avalu, dhaniyalu, in the grinder.
Add this to the majjiga
Pressure cook bachali aaku, sorakaya
Take some oil in a pan and do a popu of avalu, senagapappu, minappapu, menthulu, endu mirapakaya, pasupu, jeelakarra. Add mirapakaya,bendakayalu and fry it for a min and on medium heat, cook it, covered with a lid. After 2-3 minutes, add the boiled veggies and add salt and cover with a lid and cook for another 5 mins. At this point add the majiiga and turn the heat on to high. In about 5 mins the liquid will rise to the top of the vessel. At this stage, turn if off and add kothmir.

Tastes very good with rice.
