Swetha Telugu - 300g (Frozen) Chintha Chiguru Pappu (Tender Leaves Lentil Curry)

Swetha Telugu - 300g (Frozen) Chintha Chiguru Pappu Tender Leaves Lentil Curry brings the soul of Telugu seasonal cooking straight to your freezer — a slow-cooked lentil dal built around the sour, tangy young shoots of the tamarind tree, harvested only in spring. The result is a dish that carries layers of earthiness from pigeon peas and black lentil split, lifted by a sharp, tart brightness that only fresh chiguru leaves can provide.

• 50% tender tamarind leaves (chintha chiguru) — seasonal specialty
• Traditional Telugu Andhra recipe
• Ready in minutes from frozen — no prep required
• Product of India

The dal is tempered with mustard seeds, cumin, dried red chilli and curry leaves in the classic South Indian style, giving the base a nutty, aromatic depth before the tangy chiguru takes over. The chickpeas and split lentils hold their texture even after freezing, lending a satisfying bite to every spoonful.

Culinary Application

Serve steaming hot alongside plain white rice or Indian flat bread — the traditional Andhra way — and let the tart, spiced dal do all the work. It also works beautifully as a side to dosa or uttapam for a hearty South Indian meal at home, any day of the week.
