Take 200 grams of Gongura leaves, wash them thoroughly and let them dry.
Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a pan, add the Gongura leaves and sauté them until they wilt. Remove them from the pan and let them cool.
In the same pan, add 1 tablespoon of oil and fry 2 tablespoons of urad dal, 2 tablespoons of chana dal, 1 teaspoon of cumin seeds, 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds, and 5 dry red chillies until they turn golden brown.
Add 8 cloves of garlic to the pan and fry until they turn slightly brown.
Let the fried ingredients cool down and then grind them along with the sautéed Gongura leaves into a coarse paste.
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in the pan, add 1 teaspoon of mustard seeds, 1 teaspoon of urad dal, a pinch of asafoetida, and a few curry leaves. Once they splutter, add the ground paste and mix well.
Cook for a few minutes until the oil separates from the Pachadi. Your Gongura Pachadi is ready to serve.
