Arcot, fantastic teaser pictures mate. I didn't know you too had photochopping skills. Looks like the drive excitement has made you into one

[pganapathy]

Thanks for the teaser pics arcot. As though we weren't looking forward enough to this trip, you just ratcheted up the interest level. Am just wondering, would we have enough time to see the fort. Doubtful but still

Arcot Anna - Ek baat samajh main nahin aayee.. ye plate main stone kyo hai I am sure not a Karnool delicacy

[hyd_traveller]

Jeet, you said to Arcot, "One thing could not be understood, what is the stone in this plate? I am sure not a Kurnool delicacy."
Well Arcot could not do a test drive yesterday by visiting Kurnool to click the photos, so he simply used the ones available. The photo is only meant to convey the essence of the excitement in store while actual food can be understood from the menu posted below. Also note that we are not getting thali meal but a-la-carte service.

Jeet, it's not stone but a famous rayalseema dish called Ragi sankata.

Btw, please type in English next time. Thanks

No idea exactly which one you mean, but if I am right, you are talking about the one in the middle. Here in Karnataka they call that ragi mudde. Probably something similar in kurnool as well

Thank you pganapathy.

Looks closely like Daal-Batee recipe from Rajasthan - made of whole wheat floor!

After Hebbal flyover, exactly opposite Esteem Mall, there is a service road. That will be ideal location for Point A.

Bangy boys - please PM your mobile numbers to Silverwood.

[OmThoke]

Hey guys I'm new here, but I guess I've just joined at the right time. Can i chip in tomo as well? I'm from Bangalore, and stay near Meenakshi Mall on B.G. Road.

I can bring my Cedia or Volvo s80 (though not so sure if I'd like to drive long distance in my new machine until I'm accustomed to it).

You are most welcome to join. Please get in touch with Silverwood who is coordinating it from the Bangalore side.

Bringing which car is your choice !!!

Cheers !!!

As mobike said, it is Ragi Sankati, and it is part of our menu tomorrow. Ragi Mudde of Karnataka is similar both have Ragi as the main ingredient but I think Ragi Mudde does not have rice but Ragi Sankati has both ragi and rice, experts please correct me...

This goes awesomely well with spicy non-veg gravy. You need to take small portions, mix it well with the gravy and have it. It has a tendency to stick to your mouth if its not mixed properly.
