Banana leaf musing

So much rice and sambar and rasam and vegetables and curd and buttermilk and sweet and pappad and pickle. All for just under 30 rupees. What a good, happy, food-loving world.
As my mom used to say, there's nothing more reassuring than watching someone enjoy their meal.

Kerala is cheaper and better. Ha!

For a minute I thought you were talking about the sadhya today and wondering why Kappa was missing, until I saw the Chennai label. Chennai not Madras huh? :)

(Wcencora, though I had bidliboi before I signed in. Both easy. I think someone someone up there at the server likes me.)

you can get a better food and menu and wide variety of rice +soup and payash for less than 25 rupees in down south in madurai.
Food in madurai will be better than chennai.
