namastE!
Btw, gOngUra seems to be part of South Indian's, not only aandhra's 
diet for many centuries. I believe "punTi koora" is also in usage (for 
gOngUra) in hyderabad. mudigonDa Siva prasaad in his "Sree lEkha" refers to 
gOngUra pacchaDi  as "karNikaara lEhyamu". tirumala raamachandra, in a 
delightful essay that traces the etymology of "gOngUra" says:
"...manku (telugu vaariki) idi enta aandhra maatO, tamiLulakoo,
kanaaDulakoo antE maata. kaanee tamiLa kannaDa praantaalalO naagarikulaina
pai taragati vaaru deenini vaaDaru. saamaanya prajalE vaaDataaru.."

vEToori prabhaakara Saastri in "kaDupu teepi" sums it up as:
"payara koora vEchi pacchi mirepa panDla
nukkaLinchi pOsi yaaranicchi
konta gonta pogapikonu gOgubacchaDi
chaviki chinka nOru biviki teeru "
yum! yum! :-)
