  2. Kalyani vadina, this is my favourite too! I didnt even know that there are various styles of avakaya until I saw pinni's peasaravakaya this december, then I fell in love with it and gobbled up even more than Krishna...

  3. I never knew about pesara aavakaaya too...I came to know about this pickle when I've been to detroit in july :) I fell in love with this the very first time itself.... Not only this there were many other curries which I never tasted or heard about before meeting athayagaaru :)..
