It is a classic South Indian favorite. Very popular. Luna: I love it. But sometimes I do not know how to order it properly. Lucas: That is exactly why we are here today. Let us start simple. Luna: Okay. How do I say I want Pulihora? Lucas: You can say నాకు పులిహోర కావాలి. Luna: Naku pulihora kavali. Lucas: Exactly. Naku means for me. Kavali means I want. Luna: So it is literally 'for me Pulihora I want'. Lucas: Perfect translation. Let us try it together. Luna: Naku pulihora kavali. Lucas: Very good. Now let us add some detail. Luna: What if I like it spicy? Like really spicy. Lucas: Then you need to ask for extra pepper. Luna: How do I say that in Telugu? Lucas: You say ఎక్కువ మిరియాలతో ఉండాలి. Luna: Ekkuvu miriyalatho undali. Lucas: Ekkuvu means more or extra. Miriyalu means pepper. Luna: Undali means it should be. So 'it should have extra pepper'. Lucas: Spot on. That is a great way to remember it. Luna: Let me practice that one. Ekkuvu miriyalatho undali. Lucas: Again. Nice and clear. Luna: Ekkuvu miriyalatho undali. Lucas: You are getting the hang of it quickly. Luna: It feels nice to be able to ask for what I like. Lucas: It definitely makes the experience better. Imagine sitting down now. Luna: I imagine I just took a big bite. Lucas: And it is amazing. You would want to compliment the cook. Luna: Oh yes. How do I say it is very tasty? Lucas: You say ఇది చాలా రుచికరంగా ఉంది. Luna: Idi chala ruchikaramgaundi. Lucas: Idi means this. Chala means very much. Ruchikaram means tasty. Luna: So 'this is very tasty'. Simple and sweet. Lucas: Exactly.

Lucas: That is a complete interaction. Very polite too. Luna: But wait. I still need to pay. Lucas: Right. The bill. How do we ask for that? Luna: Is it complicated? Lucas: Not at all. Just say చెక్ బిల్ ఇవ్వండి. Luna: Check bill ivvandi. Lucas: They actually use the English words Check Bill often. Luna: Oh, that is easy. Ivvandi means please give. Lucas: Correct. Please give the check bill. Luna: Let me try that. Check bill ivvandi. Lucas: Perfect. You have mastered the whole meal. Luna: From ordering to paying. That is quite an achievement.
