This was a useful blog to me... Thanks for posting..
The blog is useful. My mothertongue is Telugu (Guntur District). I would like suggest some changes in the Telugu spellings, so that other language people can pronounce almost correctly. If you change them in the table, it would be great. Vamu -> Vaamu; Mavadi Kaya powder -> Mamidi kaya podi (I am not sure that it is available in Andhra); Gulla Senagapappu -> Veyinchina Senaga pappu; Dhaniyalu -> Dhaniyaalu; Gasagasalu -> Gasagasaalu; Karivepaku -> Karivepaaku; Pesaru pappu -> Pesara pappu; Upma rava -> Upma ravva; Peda jilakara -> Sopu; Nuvvula nune -> Nuvvula noone; Kandi pappu -> Kandhi pappu

Keep up the good work. It'd be better if you could cover more areas, like fruits, and green vegetables.
