Though there are many recipes with Egg,I prefer cooking this because it’s my daughter’s favourite..Most of the Andhra people use jaggery or sugar to balance the dominating sourness of the tamarind juice.whereas Telangana people don’t.
My husband belongs to Telangana and I’m from Andhra.First time, when he saw me adding jaggery to this recipe he asked me sarcastically “is this a curry or a sweet?”. I didn’t answer him.But when he ate this he liked it very much.Every region has its own way of cooking.I will also post that Telangana type curry in a few days which is also delicious.
