Talimpu lo avaalu, cumin seeds, curry lleaves vesi add the onions and saute till they become soft on medium flame. Add salt, ginger and garlic, 1 green chilli. Saute and add pasupu. In the meantime cut sorakaya intlo small cubes. I only used 1/2 sorakaya. after the onions are cooked add the sorakaya and cook for 5-7 min. Add garam masala and some chilli powder (optional) and cook. Make a paste from 1/2 c dry roasted peanuts with some water. Add the paste to the pan and cook. Add water accordingly. Add 1/2 tsp sugar (optional). Cover and cook on low flame till gravy starts separating. Add chopped coriander leaves on top. It goes well either with rotis or rice.

Sorakaya koora

1. Contributor: p@dmini ***************
the one and only recipe i know with Sorakay

For curry we need chopped sorakay and onions

For masala:...........Roasted peanuts,coriander powder,chilli powderand 3 pods garlic................make a powder of these

In pressure cooker after seasoning with mustard,jeera,channadal,curry leaves add chopped onions ,after turning slight brown add chopped sorakay now add salt and turmeric powder.After 2-3 mins add required amount of water(like how much gravy u want) and cook for only 1 whistle.

Take out the lid and now add the powdered masala and mix properly and cook in low flame for 5-10mins.finally add chopped cilantro
This curry is good with chapathis and white rice tooo,ma mil valla side they like it with lemon rice
