Welcome to SeemaRuchulu, my dashboard that finally comes to existence after a long wait enough that apart from my dear husband, I have got a 2 year old
sweet little one.I currently live in Fremont, California, with a wonderful husband, and a sweet cute two year old I am fond of cooking, although as a kid/teen I never thought I could even cook rice, or even remember what goes into the grinder next after peanuts while making the delicious yet simple chutney. But for quite some years strangely, the one sure thing among others that gets me excited is cooking. Fortunately I have a husband who is sweet enough to say that everything I make is "Awesome."
I am from Andhrapradesh, India, a state famous for its spicy food, warm and welcoming people, not to mention the fact that its where the world's second richest temple is. By now one might wonder what is the significance of my blog's name to everything I said. Well, although I am an Andhraite primarily, I come from one of AndhraPradesh's southern districts, which belongs to one of the three regions the state is divided into, Rayalaseema, the other two being telangana and Andhra. The region named after one of Southern India's famous and adored kings, Sri Krishna Devaraya, was once a land of Ratanalu (Gems). I cannot say it still can be considered as a land of gems, nonetheless, it still has its own unique foods, unique hospitality of the people that is hard to find in this day and age. Here in my blog, I would like to present and share some very unique recipes of the region, spicy, flavorful, simple yet colorful, which have been handed over from my grandmas to my mom, and to me these days. I hope I can bring out the best of the recipes, not that any one recipe is less tastier than the rest, and I hope everyone enjoys the flavors of my dear Rayalaseema!!
