The craving for Andhra food has reached to a hitherto unexperienced extreme this week so I have rolled up my sleeves for this spread…

1) Aratikaya Kura

2) Chitapandu Pulihara

3) Chintapandu Rasam

Overdose of Tamrind I know but this is one ingredient that I have been missing and once I started cooking there was an overdose!

By the way, googling for any one of these recipe’s opened a whole new world of websites for me. The results are pretty fascinating!

I want to cook like my mom! I guess it’s the way with all of us but whenever I start cooking, I want to cook just like my mom. The way she cuts the veggies, the way she fries them or the way she makes the curry, I like it just like that. I know that its like being used to it from your childhood but the moment I enter the kitchen, I just ape her.

Here in the US, I hardly get the stuff that resemble what she uses back home but nevertheless I still try… just that the proportions always go awry…

I miss u mom… more for your cooking…
