Andhra pradesh  especially East godavari district is fmaous for kajas. Tapeswaram kaja and kakinada kaja are very populour not only over India but all over the world. Here i came out with one of the easiest and tasty kaja i.e, flower kaja.  I have adapted this recipe from zee telugu's "mee inti vanta" program which came out perfectly.
