For this March month’s ICC- Indian Cooking Challenge, Srivalli chose Sarva Pindi, an authentic recipe of
Andhra shared by Usha. Srivalli gave me this recipe; I never heard and tried
this recipe. Srivalli suggested Rajani’s Amma Cheppindi post for reference.
Through this link, I got a general idea about this recipe. Thanks for sharing
this wonderful recipe with us.

Sarvapindi is known by different
names as sarvappa, ginnappa etc. It is a very popular snack among the telangana
people. The name ginnappa/ sarva pindi, is originated based on the cooking
method involved in preparing this snack. Ginne or Sarva, means deep hallow
cooking bowl, and appa or pindi means snack. It’s a savory pancake made of rice flour, channa dal
(lentil) and spices to make it a delicious and healthy dish. Telangana cuisine
was once the so called underrated rustic, spicy, pungent cuisine and is now
getting the recognition it truly deserves.

After 3 trial, at last I prepared this recipe hope so its
little bit look like as original…….

½ tbsp. Chana dal (half yellow
chickpea) or roasted chana

1 tbsp. Roasted peanuts
