Ambada Gosht / Gongura mamsam - Lamb in Sour Leaves



Ambada/Gongura are sour leaves which are available specially in South India. If you are lucky then you can get it in Indian/Srilankan grocery store as they will be sold as hotcakes. I was happy to get those leaves and first thing came to my mind was to make this wonderful combination with lamb....yummmm. This dish comes from Andhra Pradesh usually served at marriages or for family gatherings.
This recipe is very easy and simple to make and you just need to throw in the ingredients into the pressure cooker and cook it. This is tangy curry and its mouthwatering too and is usually served with Bagara Rice, Roti or simple plain white rice with Ghee.
