Natukodi, a chicken gravy dish from Rayalaseema. It may not look like much, but tastes insanely great with steamed rice. Hyderabadis can catch it at Rayalaseema Ruchulu (Tastes of Rayalaseema) in Masab Tank area.
duppada mamsam with jonna rotti or pottelu with ragi sankathi is very much better than this

Putha rekulu, an Andhra sweet, some call it the "paper sweet". It is basically finely ground sugar wrapped in a rice-wafer that has the same texture as paper. The wafer melts in the mouth, though when dry, you can 'tear' it.

Depends on whether you're a meat or marrow person. Natu kodi focuses on scrape-meat with skin, thin meat and ligaments (which are extremely nutritious parts). Duppada focuses on the white meat.

Bhakarwadi, a snack found in northern Telangana and Marathwada. It has a tasty dry masala (filling) that's wrapped in a crispy coil of fried wheat.

Nalli-Nihari, a Hyderabadi lamb bone-marrow gravy dish. Either with steamed rice, or rumali roti.

Btw, rumali roti is one of the world's thinnest breads. It's impossible to make such thin breads with just wheat batter without it ending up flaky or crispy, so they use a special concoction in the batter that includes yogurt, and some marination.



The roti above is big enough to cover a 1 sq m table.

We also make this in my native. It's damn tasty. Mate, you forgot to add some whiskey side by side to this awesome dish.

Hmm should try that. Thanks. I've been to Shadab for the all-you-can-eat offer on Mutton Biryani, but never on Fridays, for those dishes.

I've tasted Nihari in Agra. Ours is different. We add the "Sheik it baby, make it awesome" powder. In other words, Nihari, like Biryani, is generic, but Hyderabadis have a way of making it.

Double-ka-meetha, a Hyderabadi desert. It's a kind of pudding made with bread (double roti) moistened (by simmering) in sugar syrup or honey, with elaichi and cinamon to give flavouring and garnished with kaju and pista.

Korameenu pulusu, yet another fish-gravy dish from Andhra, made with the Korameenu fish found on some parts of our shore. Unlike Nellore pulusu, Korameenu is meatier and holds tamarind flavours better. The gravy is kept sort of thicker. Because it's meatier, they also make dry Korameenu fry, which goes well with liquor.

Looks tasty, the prospect of it tasting good with liquor makes it even more appealing. :D
So Tarun, I'm back after a long while, how are things at your end?

Is korameenu a fresh water fish?? We have karimeenu in kerala, its fresh water fish, some like the saltless flesh taste, i do, some dont, but never the less Karimeenu pollichatu, is a delicacy foreigners savour upon! :)

BTW, In kerala we make uppma, but once I tasted Uppma made by a friend of mine from AP, and it had lots of vegetables in it, including Tomatoes and all. It was pretty awesome, and much awesome than our Kerala Uppma. I need to eat more Dishes from AP! :)

I think that's different. Korameenu is found on our shores. AP's favourite fresh-water fish is called Murrelu, it's cultivated and fished in rivers and major lakes. Our government artificially created a Murrellu 'farm' in the Nagarjuna Sagar and Sri Ram Sagar reservoirs, so the locals could make money fishing in them.

The best (or worst, depending on your taste) part about Andhra upma is the use of curry leaves (kothmir akulu).
