Patoli as known in southern Andhra Pradesh, especially in Nellore is similar to Paruppu Usili of Tamil Nadu. This is also called 'Sandeega Podi' in Nellore. This curry requires little more oil than any other curry but the taste is heavenly.
Vegetables like cluster beans can be used for this preparation. Onion kuzhambu goes very well with this curry eaten best with steaming hot rice.
