Gongura Leaves (Sorrel Leaves) has a natural tanginess. Gongura is a plant grown for its edible leaves in India. The leaves comes in 2 varieties green stemmed leaf and red stemmed leaf. The red stemmed leaves are more sour than the green ones. Sorrel leaf is known as Gongura in Telugu, pulicha keerai in Tamil and Pitwaa in Hindi. We need to balance the salt and spices with the tanginess from the gongura in this pulao for it to be really delicious; otherwise you will end up with a super tangy Pulao.

We can make many wonderful recipes with Gongura (Sorrel) leaves. Gongura Pachadi, Gongura Pulihora and Gongura Pappu.

Tips for making Gongura Pulao:

  • Soak rice atleast for 30 mins, this makes the rice cook faster with less water.
  • Usually for Pulao, the spices will be mild. Since sorrel leaves have the sour flavor, we need to add more green chili to balance out the sourness.
  • We can also add handful of cashews and fry with other tempering ingredients.
  • Water ratio is 1:1.5. For 1 Cup of rice we can add 1.5 cups of water if the rice is basmati.
  • We can make this pulao in induction also. Start with “Saute Mode” in instant pot, follow the steps till we add rice. Give a mix. Cancel the “Saute mode”. Close the induction pot and turn the vent to “Sealing”. Press the Pressure cook / manual mode and set timer for 4 mins. Allow the pressure to naturally release for 10 mins, then force release pressure carefully.
  • Instead of water, we can add thin coconut milk for rich flavor.
