Andhra Pappu | Palak Pappu recipe
Written by Jayashree

Andhra Pappu / Palak pappu is tasty and healthy. It  makes a good accompaniment with any meal. Serve it with hot steamed rice along with a pickle and a few appalams, you will have a delicious meal.

I am happy and excited to introduce a new cuisine in my blog. When the theme of our blog hop was decided as ” Regional cuisine ” I was  excited to try new dishes. After much contemplating with myself, I settled on the Telugu cuisine.  It is a spicy, tangy and hot in taste.
The Telugu region can be divided into three parts as the Coastal Andhra, Telangana and Rayal Seema. Though the food is of the same kind, there is still a variation within these states. This cuisine is also found in neighbouring states as Hyderabad Karnataka and part of Tamilnadu. One part consumes millet while the other regions are contented with rice. They are lovers of hot and spicy food as pickles and chutneys. Tomato picle and avakai are their speciality.They are known to use the guntur kind of chilly.

Among the breakfast dishes, they prepare idli, dosa , pesarittu, dibb roti, minapattu and upma of  rice and semolina.

Today, I am presenting to you “Andhra Pappu ” which is dal cooked with green vegetables.  It is tasty and makes an ideal accompaniment with rice or jowar roti. The method involved in cooking this is different from our counterpart. Without much ado, let me take you to the recipe.
