SARVAPINDI

 

 

 

My dad had a propensity for Andhra cuisine, shaped by his formative years in Andhra Pradesh. He would often wax eloquent about the fiery pickles and flavorful podis that defined the region's culinary soul. He also fondly mentioned a traditional snack called sarvapindi, though it was rarely prepared at home. After I began exploring recipes from various regional cuisines, I stumbled upon this flavorful snack from Andhra Pradesh. 

 

 

It's easy to prepare with readily available ingredients. I had earlier shared a version of this recipe, in which I incorporated bottle gourd for an added twist. It's a wonderful evening snack to relish, especially with a cup of tea or on its own.You can check out the another version of this snack
