Delights from Godavari

67-year-old D Vijaya Murthy published a cookbook 'Authentic Godavari Non-Veg Recipes', published by Notion Press. A homemaker, Vijaya learnt the authentic Godavari Non-Veg Recipes from her mother Y Lakshmi and elder sister C. Lakshmikantha, and she used to post her recipes on Wirally Food, a Facebook channel with one million followers. Encouraged by her son and daughter-in-law, she took one and a half month to write recipes in Telugu, and her granddaughter Alekhya's teacher, translated them into English. The entire exercise took about three months.

This book is for all the non-vegetarian lovers out there who would like to experiment and make their own dishes. Be it chicken or mutton, fish or prawns, spicy or not so spicy you have it all here! This book is a set of carefully curated recipes that have been tried and tested multiple times so that you can make and enjoy the yummiest of dishes you have ever had. Priced at Rs 1250/-, the book features Chintachiguru Mutton (Mutton with tamarind leaves), Bommidala Chapala Pulusu (Fish in a tangy savoury sauce), Kotimira Prawns (Prawns cooked in coriander) among other dishes. Soon, she will be penning yet another book of recipes – 'Chutneys, Powders, Pickles, Starters and more'.
