Rustic cooking is unrefined and simple, but also warm and
inviting. It is typically based on old-fashioned preparation techniques,
ingredient availability and a unique set of cultural influences. Bongulo
chicken is originally a traditional tribal cuisine of Araku Valley near
Visakhapatnam. But Bongulo chicken has become very popular due to the ethnic
tribal community of Maredumilli in the East Godavari District of Andhra Pradesh.
Maredumilli is a village in the jungle area of East Godavari
District. It is on the way from Rajahmundry to Bhadrachalam in Telangana State.
It is 87 km from Rajahmundry and 120 km from Bhadrachalam. Being a forest
area it is cool with greenery everywhere. It is a popular sightseeing place with
waterfalls and resorts a little away from the village, in deep forest areas. With many bamboo trees available in this
area, Bongulo chicken is very popular here. Some visitors come here just to watch
the preparation of Bongulo chicken and relish it.
Bongulo Chicken means Bamboo Chicken. Bamboo chicken is a
chicken curry prepared by stuffing marinated chicken into an interlude of
bamboo stem/tube and then cooked on charcoal. Bamboo chicken is an oil-free and
nutritionally rich dish.
In the attached pictures you can have a glimpse of Bamboo
chicken and Kunda - Mutton Biryani being prepared at our house today. Kunda
Biryani means Pot Biryani… it simply means Biryani prepared in an earthen pot as
in the olden days. You can also see in these pictures another ethnic preparation
from Rayalaseema and parts of Karnataka – Ragi Sankati or Ragi Muddha. And you
can also see the time immemorial, universally loved tradition of barbecue and
today it was Barbecue Chicken!
Everyone relished every item and me too. I loved cooking today and
seeing everyone happy! Cooking is really love made visible!
Interesting To See.,Thank For Your Post..
