Andhra Pradesh is very famous for their chutney and pickle recipes. Their main food includes chutney, pickle, samber, any one kind of pappu (dal), rasam, some dry curries, papad and dhahi (curd) along with rice.
Since at present I am in Dubai and fortunately I got to learn Andhra food from Mrs J Leela who is my husband's collegue wife.
I will share some of recipes what I learnt from her. I am grateful to her for giving me this opportunity to learn another kind of food and add to my knowledge.
