 +====== Andhra Pradesh Cuisine ======
  
 +==== Gongura Pachadi ====
 +A tangy chutney made from gongura (sorrel) leaves, native to Andhra. It’s intensely sour, spicy, and often paired with hot rice and ghee — a regional obsession! [([[https://www.vegrecipesofindia.com/gongura-pachadi/|Veg Recipes of India]])]
 +
 +==== Kodi Kura (Andhra Chicken Curry) ====
 +A spicy, deep-flavored chicken curry made with red chilies, curry leaves, and poppy seeds. Best enjoyed with rice or Andhra chapati (phulka). [([[https://www.indianhealthyrecipes.com/andhra-chicken-curry-recipe-kodi-kura-with-step-by-step-pictures/|Indian Healthy Recipes]])]
 +
 +==== Pulasa Pulusu ====
 +A rare and seasonal delicacy made with the Pulasa fish (Hilsa), cooked in a tamarind-based gravy. It's considered luxurious and is quite expensive during peak season. [([[https://sankrantisg.com/andhra-seafood-dishes-singapore/|Sankrasti]])]
 +
 +==== Ulavacharu ====
 +A rich, thick soup made from horse gram (ulavalu). It’s slow-cooked, strained, and often served over rice with cream or butter — deeply earthy and nourishing. [([[https://www.sailusfood.com/ulava-chaaru-horsegram-lentil-thick-soup/|Sailu's Food]])]
 +
 +==== Pesarattu ====
 +A unique green gram dosa (crepe), typically served with upma and ginger chutney. A popular breakfast dish with a crisp exterior and protein-rich twist. [([[https://www.saffrontrail.com/pesarattu/|Saffron's Trail]])]
 +
 +==== Royyala Vepudu (Prawn Fry) ====
 +Fiery stir-fried prawns with red chili powder, curry leaves, and garlic — a coastal favorite with bold spice and a dry finish. [([[https://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/royyala-iguru-stir-fried-prawns|Epicurious]])]
 +
 +==== Bobbatlu (Puran Poli) ====
 +A festive sweet — flatbread stuffed with lentils and jaggery, flavored with cardamom and ghee. Similar to Maharashtrian puran poli, but slightly thinner and crispier. [([[https://cookspan.com/bread/puran-poli/2260/|Cook's Pan]])]
 +
 +==== Gutti Vankaya Kura ====
 +Baby brinjals (eggplants) stuffed with spiced peanut, sesame, and coconut paste, then slow-cooked in a tamarind gravy. A showstopper dish! [([[https://hebbarskitchen.com/gutti-vankaya-curry-recipe/|Hebbar's Kitchen]])]
 +
 +==== Natu Kodi Pulusu ====
 +A country-style chicken curry with native spices and tamarind, distinct from the city-style Kodi Kura — richer, smokier, and more traditional. [([[https://www.licious.in/blog/recipe/natu-kodi-kura-recipe|Licious]])]
 +
 +==== Dondakaya Vepudu ====
 +A simple but unique fry of ivy gourd (dondakaya), often crushed and spiced with mustard seeds, chilies, and garlic. Crunchy and flavorful. [([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=yqKWKNQ6X00&t=67s&ab_channel=HomeCookingShow|YouTube]])]

 +Fish (often rohu or catla) cooked in a tamarind and fenugreek-laced gravy, known for its intense sourness and bold flavors — classic Andhra fish curry. [([[https://www.indianhealthyrecipes.com/fish-pulusu-south-indian-fish-curry-recipe/|Indian Healthy Recipes]])]
 +
 +==== Aratikaya Vepudu ====
 +Sliced raw bananas stir-fried with mustard seeds, curry leaves, and dry spices. A crisp, starchy dish perfect with pappu (dal). [([[https://indiancurrytrail.com/raw-banana-fry-vazhaikkai-varuval/|Indian Curry Trail]])]
 +
 +==== Beerakaya Pachadi ====
 +A zesty chutney made from ridge gourd, often with roasted chilies, tamarind, and lentils — showcases the Andhra knack for turning vegetables into explosive flavors. [([[https://www.justhomemade.net/beerakaya-pachadi/|Just Homemade]])]
 +
 +==== Panasa Pottu Koora ====
 +A curry made with tender jackfruit flakes, often cooked with onions, coconut, and mild spices — a vegetarian substitute for meat during festivals. [([[https://www.archanaskitchen.com/panasapottu-aavakura|Archana's Kitchen]])]
 +
 +==== Ragi Sankati with Natukodi Pulusu ====
 +Finger millet balls served with native chicken curry. This rural dish is simple, filling, and incredibly nourishing — and reflects Andhra’s love for millet-based meals. [([[https://www.cupcakeree.com/blog/village-style-chicken-curry-with-ragi-sangati|Cupcakeree]])]
