This article traces the roots of tasty dishes from Andhra Pradesh and gives insights into why Andhra food is SO SPICY. 🥵 It features eight popular Andhra dishes. Find out which dishes are our favorites and how to make them. As a caveat, you may know our seasoning kits are based on yummy food from Andhra Pradesh but they are not too SPICY. 

Some of our favorite dishes below highlighted in the article are:

#1. Andhra Chicken Curry:

As you may know our seasonings ARE based on my parents’ home cooking from Andhra Pradesh, which are very tasty 😋 and spicy 🥵 HOT.

HOWEVER, when developing each of our seasoning blends, we go through an intense 3-4 month period of R&D to customize:

  • Spicy heat in each blend with fresh ingredients added.
  • Localize the spice flavors with familiar western ingredients.

We love this yummy process to ensure that practically 99% of people who try these flavors enjoy them. 😊 It's a lofty goal but the final recipe and seasonings are worth the wait as we cook with love ❤️ and love sharing the joy of our home cooking. 🧑‍🍳 💞🏡
