Pizzas, Burgers, Lasagnes, and Pasta; agreed that these dishes from the western cuisine can make us drool over again and again. However, little do the westerners know that the Telugu states too have a signature dish that can drive many foodies crazy. A quintessential dish that is a perfect blend of nutrition and taste, this dish stands as the soul-saver since times immemorial. For all those who couldn’t hit a guess by now, it is “Pappu-Avakaya”.
WHY?
As Rishi in Nuvve Nuvve says, Amma and Avakaya epudu bore kottavu (For those who know of an Anjali, the dialogue is a bit more special though).

If you are from Telugu states, you can find many around who might not be familiar with the taste of Sushi but it is really hard to find someone who is not familiar with the taste of the delicious Pappu in matrimony with the fiery Avakaya.
Be it for the “pure” vegetarians or the “hardcore”non-vegetarians, the combination of the spice and tadka is always a top pick for many. If you are wondering why give it a try and you will get to know.
THE MIRACLE
When you come home late after a tiring day, especially if you are running low on your energy reserves, we bet there is hardly anything that could compete with the magnificence of your beloved one walking in with steaming hot rice, Avakaya, and Pappu to feed you.
CAMEO
Wait, this epic saga wouldn’t be epic without the crucial cameo played by ghee. So settle in, take the yellow dal, spread it over your platter of rice, swoop in a dollop of ghee, pitch in a spoon of Avakaya and get set to treat yourself to one of the tastiest combinations ever.
