    Aratikaya Nuvvu Podi Vepudu is a classic stir fry from Coastal Andhra, part of Andhra Cuisine. I love plantain fries and make it in different ways for lunch.

    There was a time when Amma used to pair different dals and sambar with each of the different ways she used to cook this vegetable. Since she never used to make Potato Roast, she often used to make Plantain and Arbi, both my favourite. Thinking back now about my growing up period, I felt she used to make my favourite dishes almost every day for the meal.

    It is surely one important aspect you miss out on not being in your parents' house. I know they pamper me even now. It is also another factor I remember while cooking for my kids. Unfortunately, they hardly eat anything new or different.

    Coming back to the plantain stir fry, while making the Andhra Thali, I had referred to Padma's recipes and decided on the menu. This recipe is also from her and we had a hearty meal. This was part of the Coastal Andhra Thali I made some time back, that also had Thotakura Pulusu, Chakkara Pongali, Aratikaya Nuvvu Podi Vepudu, Putnala Podi Munakkaya Jeedipappu Masala Kura,

    Aratikaya Nuvvu Podi Vepudu is part of the BM#74, Week 2 that starts today. I will be sharing from regular stir-fries that are made at home, some new and some old. Hoping you will enjoy these.Aratikaya Nuvvu Podi Vepudu

      Wow this must have an awesome aroma and taste from the addition of sesame seeds. I don't think my amamma added sesame seeds. Nice recipe!

      That's a delicious vepudu Valli. Sesame powder sounds like a great addition to the curry. Will have to try it out some time.
