Theme: A-Z Vegetarian Dishes of Andhra Pradesh Dish: Wadiyala/ Vadiyala Pulusu (Sun dried Lentil Crispies Stew) In Telugu, there is only one letter with the sound ‘va’, so for the letters V & W I didn’t know how to choose the dishes. After thinking of all the appropriate words starting with w and the sound ‘va’ in Telugu, I decided to change the word Vadiyalu into Wadiyalu and made this lipsmacking pulusu/ stew. This recipe is again courtesy of my mom. Every household has the tradition of making (w)vadiyalu or sun dried lentil crisps every year. My mom usually keeps me stocked up with fresh ones every time we visit India.
