Andhra Pradesh Cuisine

What makes the cuisine of Andhra Pradesh so versatile is the wide range of choices available in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian. The preparation of the food in Andhra Pradesh derives major inspiration from the royal kitchens of the Nawabs, dating back to the time of Mughal rule in India. Right from the famous Hyderabadi Biryani to the mouthwatering recipes of fish, Andhra cuisine is dominated by the uses of tamarind, red chillies and varied spices. When it comes to the coastal part of Andhra Pradesh, rice, dal and seafood happen to be the staple food of the local population.
