PAATY’S FAVOURITE MENUS TASTED BY ALL

1. Sivarathiri …….:
Sivarathiri night suda suda pasi paruppu kanchi. That too not in a tumbler but in thattoo.Kaiyaal nakki nakki urinji kudipom.One litre per person was not enough that day.We remember sivarathri only with pasi paruppu kanchi.It is going to be more than 15 years since I enjoyed that kanchi.

2.Thiruvathirai…..:
The sweet thiruvatharai kali with thalathai kuzambu.What a great combination.On the whole day, for all the 3 times our menu was this only.Oru periya adukku naraiya,kaliyara time theriyathu.
Everyone has started preparing this one but no one able to achieve at least 10% of the taste of the Patt’y kali.

3.Ennai Kathirikka…..:
Kutty kutty muzhu ennaikathirikka . My tongue has been lounging for that one for the past 15 years but till not.

4.Thakkali thokku……:
If thakkali thokku available, whatever be the quantum of thayir shatham would automatically go into our belly in a fraction of second.Within 2 days vazhichi vazhichi muzhungi viduvom.The tireless patty never gets tired of preparing the thokku.The Supply from Patty always ≥ the consumption of thokku.
One time when we were returning from Sabarimalai,we had a sleep upto 5 hours in the van and when we reached Kutralam, we had an hour bath in the falls.We had a gaba gaba pasi.Suda Suda cooker Satham mixed with Sabarimalai Nai and one full horlicks bottle of Patt’s thakkali thokku…… Appa…… what a devarmitham…… Still the memories and my nakku is behind the event..

5.Ishtoo…….:
Ishtoo made up off urulaikizhangu and periya vengayam….Always a very big anda preparations.This we needed for all the 3 times of that day.Still we did”nt get bored. Now a days Brindha prepares this whenever I visit her house. The taste is also equivalent to our patty’s.Favourite menu to affectionate brother from affectionate only sister.

6.Paruupu urundai…….:
Paruppu urundai kuzambu ……We fought for no of urundais.No one is now a days preparing it.

7.Seppangizhangu …….:
Vasanaiyana Seppankizangu (muzhu muzhu kizhangu) sambar…..I knew pretty well that I would be suffering from Gas trouble after taking this one,but still I went behind in tasting it. My appetite for Seppankizhangu sambar was ≥ the after effect of consuming that one.

8.Sambaar puli……:
Sambaar puli made up of Kothamalli leaves and vellam.The best combination for morunsatham. Urutti Urutti verum vaiykke muzungividuvom.

9.Vengaya Vadaam…….:
Not the one now being prepared. origination from compounder mami.The old type of vengaya vadaam.Good combination for thayir satham.When it was dropped into Keerai Masiyal the taste goes to heaven.Once upon a time Brindha used to prepare it.

10.Oothaappam…..:
Oothaapam prepared in a cheen chatty with pachai vega vaitha sundaikka springled into it…no one can compare the taste.But we were being offered only 1 or 2 oothaapam and not more than that……Kanjus patty!!!!!

11.More Koozhu…….:
More koozhu with the Thayir kudai milagai, a different ever memorable taste.

These are the items I really enjoyed from patty 15 years ago and at present my tongue has dried and yearning for the menus.Instead of going behind the taste of the food items we have now accustomed to adjust our taste to the menus being offered by the marumagals.Ethaiyum thinnum vayiru.
We have to take a marugenmam to have once again the taste of above menus from patty.

Arunachalam, these bring tears to my eyes! My mom used to lovingly make all this for us when we were growing up! Have not eaten some of this stuff in years!

My chitti(mom's sister in calcutta) used to make ishtoo since my chittapa was from trichur and he loved it!

Thanks for sharing your patty's favorite menus
