    Hi Dear Telugites,

    I would like to start a new thread for our telugu cuisine.

    Please feel free to post your recipes here.

    My intention to start this thread is to collect all our traditional and modern telugu recipes (Because of this fast food generation, we should not forget our traditional telugu recipes).

    Let us contribute all our recipes here, so that we can store our telugu recipes, which can be a help for beginners / newly wedded.

    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Friends,

    Sugar / Jaggery - 1/2 kg
    Ghee - 350 grams
    one Fistful of rice

    1. Dry roast the Urad dal and Rice till light brown colour.
    2. Grind the roasted dal and rice coarsely (not too fine)
    3. Grind the sugar to a fine powder
    4. Melt the ghee and crush the cardamoms
    5. Mix dal and rice mixture, sugar and crushed cardamoms

    Chamadumpala vepudu.......
    I do not know what Chamadumpalu are called in English, Hindi name is Arvi.
    Cook chamadumpalu in cooker along with skin. After they are cooked and cooled remove the skin, it peels off easily. Cut each into half, depending on the size. Then put four, five spoons of oil in a kadhai and then fry chamdumpala mukkalu on low, medium flame till they are rich brown in colour. Add salt and chilli powder and fry of another five minutes. It is ready, Children love it.

    brinjal curry
    in telugu we call gutti vankaya karam koora
    small size purple brinjals 1/2 kg
    for stuffing:
    chana dal 2tbs
    urad dal 2tbs
    red chillies 4
    methi seeds 1tsp
    dhaniya seeds 1tsp
    jeera 1/2 tsp
    mustard 1/4 tsp

    others:
    oil 3tbs
    tamrind very little
    salt to taste
    turmeric pwd 1/2 tsp

    first roast all ingredients for stuffing in 1tsp oil
    let it cool and put it in small jar of mixie
    add salt, tamrind and turmeric in jar
    make powder of this and keep aside
    slit the brinjals vertically in four parts, taking care that they remain attached at the crown
    gently stuff the powder prepared in brinjals with the help of spoon
    if little powder is remaining let it be.
    heat the remaining oil in kadhai. after oil is sufficiently hot gently drop the brinjals one by one in it. now put remaining stuffing power on it. cover the kadhai with plate. put some water on the plate and let it fry. stir it sometimes taking care not to break brinjals, and the water on the plate should not fall in curry. after the brinjals become fully cooked and become tender remove the curry in serving dish.
    this tastes very good with rice+ghee or chapathi or poori.

    Kandi pachchadi and brinjal pachichipulusu......
    These are two combinations which are eaten together.
    Kandi pachchadi....
    Fry a cup of kandi pappu in a dry kadhai till it is brown in colour. Put in the mixie jar kandipappu, 4,5 red chillies, salt according to taste, jeera and some water and run the mixie till it is soft (need not be very soft, texture of ravva). Take it out and squeeze half lemon. Tastes very good with hot rice, a couple of spoons of ghee (occasional ghee doesn't do any harm) and Vankai. pachichipulusu for side dish.
    Pachichipulusu......
    Roast big fat Brinjal on stove. Peel of the skin after roasting. Add a little tamarind concentrate, salt, a pinch of haldi,cut green chillies and small cut pieces of raw onion. Mix it well. Then "Popu" or "Thalimpu with chana dal (senagapappu), Minapappu, aavaalu, inguva, a couple of redchilli pieces) and mix with brinjal paste. Garnish with lot of coriander leaves.
    This combination is a typical Telugu dish. My mother used to make it. I learnt from her.
    Syamala
