Pulicha(gongura) keerai kadaiyal (Hibiscus cannabinus leave gravy)

Pulicha keerai thogayal (or) gravy - Preparation time 10 to 15 mins
Easy to make recipe. Mom used to make this very spicy to overcome the sour taste but it will be sour even after that. I love this thogayal to take along with steaming white rice, sesame oil(nalla ennai) and roasted papad. This alone will make a good meal along with curd rice.

Ingredients:-
One bunch (oru kattu) pulicha keerai - Remove the leaves alone wash it and remove the water by spreading over dry cloth
Green chili - 3 (or according to your taste)
Salt - to taste
Mustard seed - 1/4 tsp
Sesame oil - 3 tsp
Small onion - 8 to 10 (Remove the skin, wash and chop finely)

Preparation method:-
In a tawa add the green chili, pulicha keerai (gongura) along with 1 tsp sesame oil.
When fried it will become very little in quantity. All the water content will be evaporated.
Cool the leave and grind in a mixer along with required amount of salt.
Heat a tawa. Add remaining oil, mustard to splutter and onion. Let the onion be half cooked so it will be crunchy while eating.
Add ground pulichai keerai to roasted onion and sortae for few mins. Transfer to serving bowl and take with white rice.
