Pulasa Pulusu is the crown jewel of Andhra seafood, featuring the rare and prestigious Pulasa fish found in the Godavari river. This seasonal delicacy is known for its incredible fat content and distinct flavor that requires very little oil but a lot of patience. The fish is slow-cooked in a sharp and tangy tamarind-based gravy along with ladyfingers and green chilies. It is often said that the taste of Pulasa Pulusu actually improves the next day as the fish oils merge with the tangy broth. It is more than just a dish; it is a cultural phenomenon in the Godavari districts. Serve it exclusively with steamed rice to let the complex flavors of the fish shine.
