“I am very fortunate and happy to have been asked to cook Telangana delicacies for Prime Minister Narendra Modi and other important people. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity given by Bandi ‘anna’ (TS BJP president Bandi Sanjay Kumar),” said Golla Yadamma, the lady chef specially brought from Gudatipalli village, Husnabad mandal of Siddipet district, to cook the local dishes for BJP leaders at the national executive committee meetings here at the HICC-Novotel Hotel on Sunday.
Despite the hotel being a five-star, the host party unit convinced the management to allow Ms. Yadamma and her six-member team to cook for the delegates snacks, lunch and even desserts in Telangana tradition and style.
The main course had: tomato-beans curry, aloo kurma (potato gravy), bagara baingan (spicy brinjal), ivy gourd-coconut fry, okra- cashew and groundnut fry, ridge gourd fry with soya flakes, methi-moong dal fry, mango dal, biryani, pulihora, pudina rice, white rice, curd rice, gongura pickle, cucumber chutney, tomato chutney and bottle gourd chutney.
