You would have known my love for hyderabadi and andhra cuisine if you are a regular visitor to my blog
Hyderabadi cuisine is known for its marriage of flavors and spicy dishes. I like the rich flavor of spices in their recipes.secondly its addictive and thirdly its rich by which i mean the use of spices and nuts
I end up cooking andhra cuisine mostly during weekends
