This video was shot on 18th Jan 2023, below are the activities we did throughout the day.
Vijayawada Hotel in Rajahmundry - we had 3 items here for breakfast - Rs 45 - Aaviri Kudumu, Idly, Onion Bhaji.
Then proceeded for Atreyapuram - which is 25 km from Rajahmundry.
Enroute to Atreyapuram, we passed by this barrage.
Cotton Barrage: It was constructed by British engineer Sir Arthur Cotton in 1852. The plan was to divert the flood water of the Godavari to irrigation canals for crops in the delta.
Atreyapuram - This village is known for Poothraekulu, there are about 1000 to 1500 ladies who makes & about 4000 sells Pootharekulu. When I visited Hyderabad 4 years ago, since then I was very curious to see the making of the Pootharekulu. After seeing & tasting it, Single sheet pootharekulu - Rs 15 & Double sheet - Rs 25
If you want to order, they also have a website. atreyapurampootharekulu.com/
Vindu Restaurant - We proceeded to have the pot biryani in Ravulapalem, They are specialize in pot biryani, if you want to have Chicken pot biryani - Rs 900 & Mutton Pot biryani - Rs 1100, you need to tell them 45 min in advance or another option is to have Dum biryani which is served in Pot - Rs 270 for chicken biryani.
Haritha Coconut country resort in Dindi - They have different rooms, we book the double occupancy at Rs 3840. Boating charges - Rs 80 per person. This resort is run by Andhra Pradesh government.

Andhra series is simply awesome. Being natives of this place, you became so dear to us. Language problems are there, but people are friendly. You stole our hearts with this series.

Sauth people are so friendly

Lived in most parts of India, in fact in most of the south Indian states. Andhra food has no comparison to any I've found in India. The breakfasts are awesome, the lunch is unbeatable, the tiffins aka evening snacks are varied and extraordinary and the dinner is sumptuous.

I never thought Andhara is such majestic from Nature point of view plus culinerary point of view. Andhra is underrated, They can add billions of dollars by proper exhibition and advertising.

The good thing is you are pronouncing telugu village names, food item names so perfectly...Kudos to your hard work in learning local culture/food and you are doing lot of back ground work to know the history and importance of each place... Thanks alot for visiting AP and exploring our traditions and food..

[@debjani66]

What a beautiful sweet dish. Pootharekulu. Exactly like Baklava. Whole of Central Asia and Indian subcontinent is connected!

[@Karvy365]

Atryapuram potharukulu is best thing I have seen today, very nice... India has many unseen things . WOW Sweet

[@neerajsaxena]

I never heard of or seen Pootharekulu in my life, that's an amazing culinary item. Bamboo chicken too looks yummy and authentic, although I am a vegetarian, tempted to taste chicken biryani. AP is beyond my thoughts. Boating activity around the backwaters looks fantastic, getting close to nature is always memorable.

Those coconut trees reminds me of South Pacific Islands. Wonderful episode

[@manoharraomattaparty298]

Rajahmundry is my wife's childhood city. During summer vacations, to reach my parents' village, we have to get down at Rajahmundry railway station. From Rajahmundry, you can go to Badhrachalam by boat, passing through beautiful Papi kondalu. And yes, nobody ever died of coconut falling on their head, so it is safe to walk through coconut plantations. In my childhood, I used sleep in coconut plantation ( belonging to my grandfather, just behind our ancestors' house)in a folding cot during afternoons, enjoying the breeze and sound of ruffling coconut leaves.

[@madhavvalase8950]

SUPERB Harish ji....!!! "Pootharekulu" ... a Unique item. It needs a skilled person with high process control. The entire series is quite enjoyable....!!! 👍👍🙏

[@narendernagarwal7642]

Rajahmundry is just a paradise on earth..awesome travel experience

[@sarojaprasad1]

Harish ji, thanx for this wonderful episode. While we eat Pootha rekulu, seeing their making was just amazing. It's a throbbing cottage industry in Atreyapuram now. You may pl note that south Indians normally eat with their right hand alone. They don't use both hands, like you do in north. Eating with both hands is considered taboo. You've mentioned about the language problem you've faced in AP. Telugu (or any southern tourist) people too face the same language problem when they visit north. Language diversity in India is such. Overall, you could visit & show us many beautiful spots in coastal Andhra which many people might not have seen. We look forward to the remaining trip. Cheers!

[@mybrickpicks]

Harish Ji: Thanks again and again for reviving old memories of my stay in Rajahmundry. Spent some of my out of college initial bachelor life years there ❤🎉 Potarikulu have evolved. I remember them being just sugar covered during those times. Razole used to be a constant visit (I was in Sales hence know a lot of both Godavari Districts quite well). There was no bridge to cross Godavari from Razole to go to the other side. You had to come to Ravulapalem and then go on NH and then after crossing Vasishtha go to whichever place. Once I went from Razole to Narsapuram by crossing Godavari from Dindi, in a small Row Boat(no motor boat or ferries at that time).with two people rowing it. I had my Motorbike on a stand and I was sitting on it with both feets on each side. It was scary and fun both. I did not know swimming too. Imagine that 😀 Also, maybe the waters are actually much deeper than what that guy said (40 to 60 Feet). The river is narrow and deep there. By the way, Razole and the delta area is like Kerala of the AP. Coconut Trees, Canals and Green Paddy Fields. There used to be a lot of Telugu Movie Shootings there during those times. My memories are from 1990s 😊. So happy that you are creating more appeal of these places to people.

[@ramakrishnavatyam3955]

Next time whenever I read or hear about Rajahmahendravaram I will surely recall your series. A must visit place.... What a unique preparation of that sweet putharekelu, never thought that so tasty preparations can be made from rice. I must share this video with my Telugu friends and colleagues and see how they react😊 When I mentioned Jagadamba Crossing to my colleague from Vizag, he was surprised. And when he asked how I knew this place, I told him that I visited Vizag with my friend Harish Garu 😊 Thank You, Sir, Thank You You not only make our day but days too. ధన్యవాదాలు హరీష్ గారు
