DRY FRUITS POOTAREKU

Happy dusshera guys....let's start our festival with a sweet called pootareku.

AATREYAPURAM (EAST GODAVARI): Green fields, the mighty Godavari, mouth watering Kajas and then... Pootarekulu. Talk of Godavari districts and these come to mind.

Pootarekulu is a much popular sweet in East and West Godavari districts. If anybody is planning an Aatreyapuram trip, which is about , he will face this question for sure - will you get Pootarekulu or mango jelly for us? The two sweets are synonymous with this village.

Pootarekulu making is an art and every household in this village has mastered it. It has become a cottage industry and has been flourishing here for almost three generations. Apparently, one old lady while cooking suddenly hit up on the idea of making good use of starch. She extracted it, added sugar and ghee to it and the rest is history.

Villagers soon started making wrappers from rice flour, put sugar and ghee inside and folded them. Every day women in each house prepares 400 wrappers on an average and sell to businessmen directly at the rate of Rs.20 per 100 wrappers.

Moru Thatha Thirumvanmiyur Beach Actually this shop is not a proper shop it is a buttermilk business handled by a family in small tin using bicycle.  Even though it operates in non business time there are huge number of visitors for the shop.

They’re big enough to require a fork, but modest enough to justify several on the plate. Maybe some onions and fresh herbs mixed in. Nothing fancy. Totally old-school.
