Broa
For the second day of our Mega Marathon, I have baked ‘Broa’ which is the Portuguese corn bread. It is a savory bread unlike the more famous Portuguese bread, ‘Massa Sovada’.

Andhra Breakfast Thali
As I mentioned in my previous post, I started exploring the Telugu language and cuisine last year. As usual my fascination met with the strong disapproval of my husband. His idea was that I should be more interested in Kannada since we were to move to Bangalore. My point was that it would be far easier…
