Shhhh Cooking Secretly Challenge
Challenge for this month in Shhh Secretly cooking challenge FB group is Telegana cuisine. Telangana is a state in southern India. It became the 29th state of India on 2nd June, 2014. Before that, it was part of Andhra Pradesh. Telangana cuisine is a food culture unique to Telangana region. The Telangana state lies on the Deccan plateau and its topography dictates more millet and roti (unleavened bread) dishes. Jowar and Bajra features more prominently in their cuisine. In Telangana a gravy or curry is called Koora and Pulusu (Sour) in based on Tamarind. A deep fry reduction of the same is called Vepudu. Tamarind, red chilies (koraivikaram) and Asafoetida are predominantly used in Telangana cooking.(Source:Wiki)
