The famous dishes of Andhra Pradesh include the ones made of rice, vegetables, cereals, fish, and meat. Additionally, Andhra cuisine is known for its spicy and tangy flavour. 

New Delhi: Nationwide, Andhra Pradesh is renowned for its hot cuisine. The affluent culture of the state, where unique food has been made in the Nawabs' kitchen since the state's founding year, serves as the source of inspiration for such delectable culinary varieties. The famous dishes of Andhra Pradesh include the ones made of rice, vegetables, cereals, fish, and meat. Additionally, Andhra cuisine is known for its spicy and tangy flavour. 

The cuisine comprises both mouthwatering vegetarian and non-vegetarian meals. The scrumptious rice, mouthwatering Biryanis, and some zesty pickles and chutneys are some of the well-known Hyderabadi dishes. Listed below are some mouth-watering dishes from the state:

1. Pulihora:

An unusual variation of tamarind rice, also known as Chitrannam is spiced up to give it a sour and salty flavour. Along with curry leaves, tomatoes, and mustard seeds, tamarind is one of the primary ingredients. This dish finds a place on the table during festivals and celebrations.

2. Pesarattu:

The pesarattu is an ideal dish for a morning or anytime snack at a time when carb-free diets are fashionable. This dosa variation uses a little amount of rice flour, but moong dal predominates it almost entirely. There is also an intriguing variation in which the pesarattu is filled with Rava Upama. This variation is often referred to as MLA Pesarattu.

3. Palakura Pappu:

Few Indian cuisines are capable of making spinach taste as good as Andhra cuisine. The protein-rich traditional dal and the health benefits of spinach are combined in the Palakura Pappu. The Pappus (dals) bust the myth that all Andhra cuisine is fiery and boast of a tangy flavour from the tamarind in the mix.

4. Bobbatlu:

Puran Poli, sometimes referred to as bobbatlu, is a traditional sweet dish cooked frequently in Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. It is widely cooked during significant festivals and celebrations since it is thought to be extremely pious. It has a delicate and enticing flavour thanks to the internal stuffing made of lentils and jaggery and the outside layer created with wheat flour or refined flour.
