Cuisine: Andhra Pradesh state of India
Ingredients:
Coconut oil - 4 tablespoons
Curry leaves - 1 sprig
Onions - 4
Green chillies - 4
Telagapindi (powder of oil extracted sesame seeds residual cake) - 4 tablespoons
Salt - as required
Turmeric powder - a pinch
Water - 2 cups
Method:
To prepare Telagapindi Kura, start by chopping the onions into small pieces and slitting the green chilies. Next, heat a clay pot or any other pot and add coconut oil. Once the oil is hot, add the curry leaves and green chilies and saute for a minute. Then add the chopped onions and saute until the onions become soft. Add the telagapindi, followed by salt and turmeric powder. Mix everything and pour water into the pot. Cover the pot with a lid and cook until all the water evaporates. Once done, serve Telagapindi Kura with rice or roti.
Note:
Telagapindi is a by-product of the production of sesame oil. The process involves pressing and processing raw sesame seeds to extract oil. The leftover pulp is then ground into a powder, which is telagapindi.
This ingredient is used in traditional Andhra Cuisine.
