Andhra cuisine is very close to my heart. Next to Odiya food(being from Odisha) Andhra style food is what gives me comfort. Pulihora(tamarind rice),Pappu (Dal),Rasam,different chutney, Chicken fry are my all time favourite and pretty regular at my home. I just love the the spiciness,the tang and the aroma of fresh curry leaves in Andhra food
This chicken fry is my childhood favourite. I don't know how authentic is this preparation but the taste is pretty much same like the one I used to have. And I trust my tastebuds !!!
