In our Rayalaseema region, becaue of less rain fall and drought conditions, farmers prefer to choose the crops that produce good yield with limited water supply. So grains like jowar, bajra, finger millets (ragulu) are widely seen in our area. And the Rayalaseema cuisine also include various dishes made with these grains.

Everybody think that it is difficult to make, but with little practice, you can all make it very easily.
