This one is a very ancient recipe you can only find in the most traditional kitchens of Andhra. Most traditional Andhra curries are characterized by a spice powder or a ground paste of spices added to the vegetable to amplify its taste. These powders add an element of texture,flavor, color or taste to the dishes they are added to.
