History

Mamsam Miriyalu Roast originates from the rich and spicy cuisine of Andhra Pradesh, known for its bold use of black pepper and chilies. In Telugu, ‘Mamsam’ means mutton, and ‘Miriyalu’ translates to black pepper, highlighting the dish’s primary spice.

Historically, black pepper has been used in South Indian cuisine for centuries, long before the introduction of chili peppers. The spice was a prized commodity in ancient trade routes and was widely used for its medicinal and flavor-enhancing properties.

Andhra’s culinary traditions often emphasize slow-cooked meats infused with robust spices. Mutton was a favored protein in royal kitchens and among warrior clans, where black pepper-based roasts were prepared for their rich taste and health benefits.

Today, Mamsam Miriyalu Roast remains a staple in Andhra households, enjoyed as a festive delicacy and served during special occasions.
