The one thing that binds Andhra and Telangana, is this hot, spicy pickle made with sesame oil, chilli powder and mustard powder. If you have high BP avoid, much too much salt aalso. Red in colour it is, many an immigration and customs official at the JFK airport has been confounded by the sight of a red, oily, chunky substance floating in the baggages of returning from home Hyderabadis, with happy smiles at the thought of a secret stash of pickles.
