Hello Ladies,

I am specifically starting this thread to bring out tradition andhra dishes which are passed to us from our grand moms.Those dishes are healthy too.In this modern world i am trying to bring out the old authentic dishes and their recipes.Join me by posting your traditional recipes.

Few examples of andhra traditional recipes are vennappaalu,Aaviri kudumu,tapala rottelu,dibba rotte etc.

Let me start with a simple ladies finger recipe which my grand mom used to do.

Wash ladies finger , cut edges of both sides and keep aside.In olden days they used to keep this while cooking rice.They used to dip this in rice which is cooking.

Now i am doing this in a pressure cooker.When cooking rice or dal on top i will keep these ladies fingers and let it go for 3 or 4 visils.Once pressure is gone take out the plate of ladies fingers and sprinkle salt,red chillie powder and few drops of ghee and also channa dalia powder(optional) on them.

Have this with rice.It tastes yummy.

So ladies please share your traditional recipes.
