Hyderabadi style or Andhra style? Being a Hyderabadi, living in Hyderabad at this very moment, I’d like to point out that there are two very different cuisines in the state of Andhra Pradesh. Hyderabadi style is generally a fusion of Mughlai complexed with the native cuisine, while Andhra style has a simpler, straightforward flavour profile, usually with the native chillies dominating. I’m very curious about the green chicken though.
Might I suggest a fairly authentic Hyderabadi and Andhra cuisine book, which I found very useful? It is called ‘Essential Andhra Cookbook’ by Bilkis I Latif.

I have the spidey curry sense too. I’ll never forget the time I was in Indianapolis for work many years ago, and working about 16 hours a day on my job site. All I had time for was a quick bite at PF Chang’s next door. By the 2nd day of that I was totally fed up. Driving back to my hotel that night I took a different route, and scanned the side of the road. In an unassuming mini-mall I saw a sign that said “Taj something” – and did a u-ie to stop there. Turned out to be a great little mom & pop Indian place. I ate there every night the rest of the week – yummy battura chole, great okra – basic north Indian food, but tasty and with soul.

I swear to use these powers only for good and not for evil…

(PS – thanks for the rec – I have clients in Columbus and can’t wait to check this out!).

Oh! Oh boy! I shall go there the next chance I get! Also, the old Patel Bros. at Kenny Center is closed, so if you shopped there, well, go to Sawmill instead. But you probably knew that by now.
