Make sure you soak it overnight for at least 10-12 hours. Soaking it is a must as it brings real taste to the dish.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After 10-12 hours, you can observe a change in watercolour. Now take a large pressure cooker, add the soaked horse gram with the same water, and let it boil for at least 40-50min after one whistle.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">After 50min cut off the stove and transfer only the water into a container(make sure you use a filter); keep the horse gram seeds aside ( as the seeds are of no use in the dish now).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Take a bottom-sized pan and add two tablespoons of oil. Once the oil is heated, add garlic cloves, red chillies, green chillies, curry leaves, mustard seeds, jeera, and turmeric. Mix well.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Now pour in the strained horse gram- water and mix well. Boil for 5-10minutes.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Add tamarind extract and the required salt and mix well.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Boil it on medium flame until it turns into a thick gravy. It usually takes 30 minutes to turn into a thick sauce.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Garnish with coriander and cut the stove off.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Ulavacharu is ready to serve.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Tip: If you want to use the seeds, grind them into small pieces and add them to the gravy. However, the highly recommended way is to have it as said.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ulavacharu is a famous Andhra Pradesh dish made in Guntur and Krishna districts.
