KAARAM PULUSU

This is a dish from Andhra, which I learnt from my friend. . This gains amazing taste and flavour 3 or 4 days after preparing,is very very tasty, and almost like our Vathakuzhambu. This contains garlic, which has great health benefits. Garlic treats acne,  hair loss,  common cold, lowers blood pressure, treats gas, lowers heart disease risks and  improves bone health. Study says, it is good to add garlic in our diet as frequently as possible.

                                These are the vegetables that have gone inside this Pulusu.
