Aadhivasi Bamboo Chicken

Recently we had tried the famous tribal cuisine 'Bamboo Chicken' from the Araku Valley of Andhra Pradesh, locally known as the 'Bongulo Chicken'. Its very different from the one we generally find in the restuarants in the city, as its made the authentic tribal way without oil and they use local herbs, etc and they make the chicken on wood or coal flames and not on the gas burner.

Frankly speaking if you expect too much about the taste then you will be disappointed and its not that tasty like how its hyped about in general. You can give it a try if you want to try something different while you are in the valley but personally I still liked their kebabs better than the bamboo chicken.

Having heard quite often about Bamboo Chicken being the speciality of Araku Valley, we decided to try it when we spotted this place while exploring the local market. Rs500 for a kilo was good enough quantity for 4-5 people. And they claim they don't use any water or oil for cooking, but I found it to be just plain hype when it came to the flavour. Trying it once for sake of trying is good enough in my opinion.
