Sakinalu (or sakinaalu, Chakinaalu Telugu: సకినాలు,చకినాలు, చక్కిలాలు) is a special type of snack prepared in the northern region of Telangana, India. It consists of concentric circles made of rice flour dough, fried in oil.[1][2] It is prepared during the Makar Sankranti festival.[3] As per Telugu tradition, they are given to the groom's parents by the bride's parents to distribute among their relatives and friends.[4]
Sakinalu is made of rice flour seasoned with small amounts of spices, sesame seeds, carom seeds (ajwain), and salt.
The word "sakinalu" is believed to be originated from "chakinamu", which is based on "chakram", which means wheel or circle. This is because of its circular shape. The farmer community prepares this traditional festival cuisine during Makar Sankranti when the fresh crop of paddy has been harvested.
It is recognized as one of the Telangana Traditional Festival cuisines.

A papadam is a snack that originated in the Indian subcontinent. Dough of black gram bean flour is either deep-fried or cooked with dry heat (flipped over an open flame) until crunchy. Other flours made from lentils, chickpeas, rice, tapioca, millet or potato are also used. Papadam is typically served as an accompaniment to a meal in India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Sri Lanka and the Caribbean or as an appetizer, often with dips such as chutneys, or toppings like chopped onions and chili peppers.
Chicken tikka masala is a curry consisting of roasted marinated chicken pieces (chicken tikka) in a creamy spiced sauce (masala). It is thought to have been created in Britain, possibly by Ali Ahmed Aslam in Glasgow. It is offered at restaurants around the world and in some of its forms is similar to butter chicken. It is one of the most popular dishes in Britain, and in 2001 was described by the British Foreign Secretary Robin Cook as "a true British national dish". The dish has been called inauthentic both by white Britons and by South Asians. Scholars and critics have debated the status of the dish, concluding variously that it has undergone an elaborate process of cultural interchange, and serves as symbol of Britain's multicultural society. Lizzie Collingham states that it feels quintessentially South Asian despite its British origins.
Sāmbār, or sambhar, is a lentil-based vegetable spiced curry or stew, cooked with pigeon peas and tamarind broth. It originates in South Indian cuisine and is also eaten in other parts of India.
Before the 1921 destruction of Tulsa’s Greenwood District, Black residents had created a remarkable center of business and community life. The district included stores, professional offices, entertainment venues and homes owned by Black citizens. Understanding Greenwood means learning what was built—not only what was burned.
