About Madhu’s vantalu
Namaste everyone,
I am Madhavi, I love cooking and I like to experiment new recipes with the ingredients I have at my home. I am so passionate about cooking that I spend much of my free time browsing recipes and even when I watch television, most of the time, I do end up watching food channel.
After I got married and moved to U.S, I learned my first cooking classes from my husband. If my mom is my inspiration for cooking, then my husband is my teacher, and yes he was one tough teacher. And the outcome, all I can say is whatever the little cooking I do now, the whole credit goes to my dear hubby.
I love my mom’s cooking and would like to share her recipes and also share some of my own recipes with a touch of Karnataka style cooking cos my husband is from Karnataka. It’s a perfect blend of the neighboring states. So, this Andhra girl would like to invite everyone to Madhu’s vantalu.

Hi Madhu
You know what, you are rocking!!!
I like cooking, when I see your website you remind me of all off what I want to do, though haven’t done cooking apart from couple of times in my entire life, my dear mom does that!!
However such a low hit rate “233,574 hits”
We have more than 7,000,000 only in Andhra in India to hit your website, look new aspects also!
Let me come to the basic point, can you help me out, with giving some insight of High Proteins and low Calories Food i.e. vegetables and fruits etc. along with suggesting the good Chutneys, curries etc., and details of Pulses, Grains, Nuts etc.
Health Conscious you know!
Waiting for your interest in that aspect also!
Look forward for your help.
Regards
Jagadish PV
Thanks for the compliments and suggestions Jagadish.
I would love to post recipes related to healthy living. As a matter of fact i have been thinking of it for a while. So, you will see more health conscious recipes in the near future.
Right now i am at my mom’s place just laid back, relaxing and enjoying the authentic spicy Andhra food.
When i get back, In about 2 months i will post the recipes.
Cheers,
Madhavi.

Hi Madhavi,
Good to see your positive response!
I was not sure, if you would like what I said or not!
However As you tried to understand me, here is other tip!
Why don’t you use some more photos / video (U tube kind off) to really bring in the procedure/preparation in pictures, let me know what do you think about it.
Regards

Hi Madhu
Just found this website. Must say, I am impressed, like you I love to browse for recipes and watch the Food TV. Your recipes (esp the words you use) and the pics make really nostalgic for Andhra & India. Currently I’m looking for salt restricted Andhra recipes - can you help?
Cheers
