Gongura pulohora





Gongura is one of my favorite leafy vegetable.  I first ate this rice at a friend's house and loved it so much and got this recipe from her. The tanginess of the gongura and the spiciness of the other ingredients makes this rice so delicious to eat. As I am typing this recipe my mouth is watering and I am craving to eat some of this now.😊 Here is the recipe for you to try.
