Pachi Pulusu
It is a curry specially made with pulagam ( rice and green gram combination ) with Chenikaya Chutney. Many south Indian houses make these items on Saturdays when they do not eat non-veg. Green gram is high in protein and fiber and vitamins. Vadiyams and papads make this combination whole.
