    Favourite food

    Guys ! tired of serious discussions and "locked up" and "to be deleted " threads.
    Lets discuss the quintissential "Soathu prachinai" (eng :translation; food problem).
    When I was a kid (trus me I was , once upon a time), I had a big crush on the following dishes which my granny used to make.
    1. Milagu Rasam.(APJ Abdul Kamal's fave)
    2. Sundakkai Vathhakozhambu (I donno english translation)
    3. Thakkali Sambar (tomato sambar)
    4. Araikeerai and Molai Keerai (some variety of spinaches)
    5. Manjal Karisilanganni keerai (another spinach variety good for Jaundice patients, I took it when I had jaundice when I was a kid) Where is this plant nowadays?
    6. MoarKuzhambu (curd sambaar?)
    7. Arisi Appalam
    8. Urula kizhangu kari (potato fry)
    9. Kathirikkai Kari (brinjal kari- very spicy)
    10. moar milagai

    The greatest fun of all is to sit in a circle around my granny along with my cousins and brother, listening to Ramayan and Mahabaratham(edited, distilled and censored version). The food tasted million times better this way(why?).
    I am looking forward to hearing hubbers' experience on their favourite food and how best they enjoyed it with their family and friends.

    Though this thread seems to be too south indian, hubbers from all around the world are welcome to pitch in with their experiences.

    JG,

    What is the criterion to participate in this thread?? Should we be jobless, senseless and utterly useless to discuss about thayir saadam too???

    akka!
    criterion is you must be having a mouth to eat and food that you had eaten or have that you eat everyday. Plus memories of your fave food. Ideal lunchtime topic this... So u like lemon pickle along with curd rice. It is a side dish to so many delicacies ...

    Anyway, what is Maavadu? U've listed all veg stuff..are you vegetarian?

    OK, my list is

    Best eaten hot and wrapped in banana leaf! Yummy. All the

    NM, at least you are being thoughtful of non-vegetarians.
    We are always sidelined by the masses everywhere.
    Such inequality should be stopped by all means.

    We too have feelings, you know.

    By the way, you forgot nasi lemak with rendang ayam.

    Non Veg or Ve, that doesn't matter. All that matters is the experience of eating. Who is serving and how they make it. Many times, my mother will make only a rasam and appalam. However hungry you are, if she serves with Love, even humble rasam will taste like divine ambrosia or amudham. That is why some people call "Rasam" as "Saathamudhu", meaning divine nectar of food.
    It it is also true that Rasam is the best appetizer in the food world IMHO.
    My Bihari friend always craves for Fish. Fortunately for him when we were in Orlando, there were so many carribean fish outlets, that he ate some 20 varieties of fish in the nine months we were there.

    coming back to leaf eaters, I used to enjoy the karisilanganni keerai, which I have heard people saying as very good for the liver. My mother used to prepare it along with dal (urad dal i think) and ghee. It was so delicious. another favourite that my granny used to cook was Paagakkai Pitle(not to be confused with mandakkai, it is Bittergourd). It was another dish from heaven which tasted thousand times more when my granny served it in her own hands.
