Mukkala Pulusu

Mukkala pulusu is nothing but mixed veg. pulusu. As we are mixing different vegs. it gives a unique taste which I like to drink as soup.
Cook tuar dal 1/2 cup with 1cup water till it becomes soft preferebly in a pressure pan for 3 whistles. Smash it with little salt.
Mix the dal and ghee with the rice, add pulusu and enjoy with papad or vadiyam.
