    Hi Preethi!

    I forgot all about Bacchali Pappu Kura! Thank you for reminding me of this wonderful dish. In the Philippines, Bacchali is called Alugbati (Malabar Night Shade) and looks a bit different from the one my Mom used to cook in Kakinada. I had no choice but to try it with the Filipino variety, but, it came out almost as good as Mom's cooking. Thank you so much for posting this recipe.
