|
| All three regions — [[Coastal Andhra]], [[Rayalaseema]] and [[Telangana]] — have distinctive cuisines. In the semi-arid [[Telangana state]] region [[millet]]-based bread ([[roti]]) is the predominant staple food, whereas [[rice]] is predominant in irrigated Andhra and Rayalaseema regions. [[Finger millet|Ragi]] is also popular in Rayalaseema region. Many of the curries (known as ''koora''), snacks and sweets vary in the method of preparation and differ in name, too.

| Andhra Pradesh is the leading producer of [[red chili]] and rice among Indian states, and Telangana the leading producer of [[millet]]; this influences the liberal use of spices in Telugu cuisine, making its food some of the richest and spiciest in the world. Vegetarian, as well as meat and seafood (coastal areas), feature prominently on the menus. [[Lentil|Pappu]], [[tomato]], [[gongura]], and [[tamarind]] are largely used for cooking curries. Spicy and hot varieties of [[South Asian pickle|pickle]]s form an important part of Telugu cuisine.

| ==Regional variations==
| |
| {{Citations missing|section|date=September 2019}} | |
| There are many regional variations due to topographic differences in Telugu-speaking populations spread over a large area. They can be classified based by region into Coastal Andhra, Rayalaseema, Telangana cuisine. Cultural factors that have heavily influenced the cuisine over the years are the eating habits of the Hindu royal, Brahmin, and the Muslim Nawabi royal families. Andhra Pradesh and Telangana states proximity with Western, Central and Eastern India makes those border regions' cuisine more diverse with Telugu population spread into neighboring states. Different communities have their own variations and the rural areas still follow the centuries-old cooking habits and recipes.

| The Coastal Andhra region is dominated by [[Krishna]] and [[Godavari]] delta regions and is exposed to the long coastline of [[Bay of Bengal]]. Hence rice, dal, and seafood are the staple diet of the people. This region has its own variations, but ultimately the dishes are predominantly rice-based. This region is one of the largest producers of rice and chilies. Nellore region in the southern part of the region has its own unique recipes, which are markedly different from those in the Uttarandhra region. [[Ulava charu]] is a famous soup made from horse gram; ''Bommidala Pulusu'' is a fish stew that is a specialty of Andhra Pradesh. Andhra cuisine is more dominant in restaurants all over Andhra Pradesh as well as Andhra restaurants in cities like [[Bangalore]], [[Chennai]] and [[New Delhi]].

| Lunch and dinner are elaborate affairs in many Telugu households. In a majority of urban households, the food is served in stainless steel or porcelain plates, while in traditional and rural households, the food is served on a banana leaf. The banana leaf is used during festivals, special occasions and for guests. Many restaurants in middle-budget in smaller towns use banana leaves for serving. At times, Vistaraaku (a larger plate made of several leaves sewn together) is used. The traditional packing material for long journeys was sun-dried banana leaves.

| ===== Pickles =====
| |
| ''Pachadi'' and ''Ooragaya'' are two broad varieties of pickles that are used at times with rice. Pachadi is like a sauce typically made of vegetables/greens and roasted green/red chilies. It is prepared fresh and is consumed within a day or two due to a short shelf life. Ooragaya is prepared in massive amounts seasonally and uses liberal amounts of chili powder, methi (fenugreek) powder, mustard powder and groundnut(peanut) oil. For a typical Andhrite, no meal is complete without this essential item. It is consumed on its own mixed with rice or is also eaten as a side dish with Pappu/koora.

| ==Rural cuisine==
| |
| In [[rural]] Andhra Pradesh, agriculture is the predominant occupation. Some centuries-old cooking practices, especially the use of mud pots, are still in vogue but are being replaced by steel utensils in recent decades. The earlier recipes in each village were also largely dictated by what was grown and available locally. In the drier districts, ''jowar'' ([[sorghum]]), ''bajra'' ([[millet]]) and ''ragi'' are still in use, while eating rice is seen as a symbol of prosperity. In the Delta and coastal districts, rice plays a major role in cooking.
