    I love it too.. I also make a slight variation of this recipe by sprinkling little fried curry leaves and any gun powder (peanut karam podi/garlic karam podi/nuvvula Karam podi/kandi podi) I have in hand instead of regular chilli powder. I also tried baking these instead of deep frying and they taste the same :)

    Hi..
    I tried this mamidikaya pappu recipe and was awesome, I also tried a variation by adding few spinach leaves while cooking the mango pieces and was too good. Hope you like it too.

    Beerakaya Paalu posina koora ( ridge gourd milk curry)

    Heat some oil in a pan. Add few red dried chillies,mustard and cumin seeds and chana dal. When mustard starts spluttering add lots of crushed garlic and fry till it turns light brown. Add little chopped onions and curry leaves, fry till they turn translucent. Add peeled and chopped ridge gourd pieces, salt, chilli powder, turmeric, and cover and cook in a medium flame for a while. After the beerakaya is nicely cooked, add some water enough to make a gravy and cook again.Add some milk and further cook for 3-5 mins.Serve hot with roti or rice.

    Andhra Style Mirchi bajji
    Make a batter with besan, water and salt. Slit the bajji chillies lengthwise and remove the seeds or retain some of them based on the level of spiceness you like. Make a thick paste of ajwain,little tamarind,besan,little salt. Stuff the chillies with the paste and dip in the batter. Deep fry until golden brown.Remove,slit the mirchi bajjies again and stuff with a mixture of chopped onions,coriander leaves and lemon juice.Enjoy!
