Know about the Recipe : 
Friends.. continuing the array of endless traditional Rayalaseema flavours today too and presenting to you an authentic, tasty, sweet & sour Rayalaseema Festival special recipe "Bhakshyala Charu" prepared using boiled Chana dal water / Kattu and drumsticks. It is also known as "Kattu Chaaru" in other regions of Telugu states cooked in different style. 

Let me share the recipe now... When we prepare Bhakshyalu / Bobbatlu on festival day, we boil Chana dal for making them. So, after boiling chana dal, we extract the water "Kattu" from chana dal. This Kattu is used to prepare this delicious Bhakshyala Charu. Started the recipe now - in a bowl, I have added tomatoes, tamarind, curry leaves, coriander leaves, turmeric powder, pinch of red chilly powder and salt. Boiled this mixture adding water for about 10 minutes. Later added boiled drumsticks, boiled chana dal water / Kattu and mixed well. Next added jaggery and cooked for 5 more minutes. Finally gave aromatic tempering to this Bhakshyala Charu by adding crushed garlic, mustard seeds, jeera, urad dal, coriander leaves, curry leaves that are fried in oil. Tasty Bhakshyala charu is ready to serve now. Our Rayalaseema festival thali is incomplete without this traditional Bhakshyala Charu. Tastes awesome when eaten with white rice, even tastes good with Chitraannam.
