Dear Vani, We like avakaya a lot. No Telugu home is complete without avakaya and gongura. Yes, hot rice and ghee with avakaya is the best combination...nothing can beat it. Forget about dieting for a while and enjoy avakaya. Nothing can replace it. Syamala
True. I remember reading somewhere that avakaya also helps with weight loss so the more @vani098 has the better
