At last I am here after a long gap. It took some time to adjust back with the normal routine office and home. I found some time now for my favorite pass time, blogging.
Bangaladumpa Iguru (thats how we call it at home), a gravy based dish that goes well with hot rice, chapathis and even pulao too is a commonly cooked dish at most of the homes in Andhra. Here is how it goes:
Ingredients
Potatoes – 3 (cut into cubes)
onions – 4 (cut lengthwise)
green chillies – 5 (slit lengthwise)
curry leaves – 2 sprigs
coriander leaves – 3 sprigs (chopped finely)
bay leaves – 4
cloves – 3 (lavangalu)
dalchini – a small stick
chillie powder – 1 tb sp
turmeric powder – 1 t sp
Salt to taste
oil – 2 tb sps
2 cups of water
Procedure
1. Heat oil in a kadhai, add cloves, dalchini and bay leaves. fry for 3 mts till the flavour comes out.
2. Add green chillies, curry leaves and onions, fry till soft.
3. Add potatoes, cover and cook them on low flame for about 7-10 mts stirring in between till the potatoes turn soft.
4. Add turmeric, chilliepowder, salt to taste. Mix well, cover and cook for another 3 mts in low flame.
5. Add 2 cups of water and bring to boil. Cover the kadhai with a lid and allow the potatoes to cook on low flame till thick gravy is formed.
6. Add chopped coriander and serve hot with rice or chapathis.
wow, just adding water makes this gravy! Colors look soo good.
BTW, I was already tagged for that meme and completed it

Hi sowjanya,
its very nice to see ur recipe… actually i tried this bangaladumpa iguru today..its very spicy n delicious..but i didnt get that marvaleous redish color..what should i add to get that color..pls suggest me!
Madhu,
The redish color depends on the chillie powder that you use. I’ve added a local brand that’s available at singapore.
Hi sowjanya,

Hi Madhu,
Right now am on a blogging break. My camera has flown across miles :). Would definetely remember and blog up the recipe u’ve asked for once I’m back.
Thanxs a ton……..
Hi Sowjanya,
I have tried this today.. It was very nice.. But I have added little curd as it became bit spicy..
Thanks a lot.. it was nice…
Hi Meera,
Good to hear the recipe came out well. you could adjust the chillies to your spice level and yeah curd gives this curry the taste of kurma. Goes excellent with pulao or chapathi. Even I do that sometimes. Thanks for dropping by.

Hi Sowjanya,
I tried this receipe,the taste was good.But i don’t get the thick gravy.Any suggestions?
Hi Sowji,
To have the thick gravy, you can increase the quantity of onions, or add a tomato, or roasted cashew nut/poppy seed powder. Hope that helps.
Thanq sowjanya.
Just made it for lunch. Had it with a hot buttered Naan. Delicious. Thanks for sharing.
