Exploring Madurai and Eating South Indian Thali 🇮🇳

I left my luxury hotel to go explore the old streets of Madurai. My goal was to sample some authentic local Tamil food.
I cooked my Ola rickshaw to take me to Meenakshi Amman Temple, the huge historic Hindu temple that Madurai is famous for. I wasn't really that interested in visiting the temple but used it as a place to start off exploring the streets of Madurai. Anywhere there's a big temple or mosque in India thre will be many dozens of restaurants nearby to cater to the worshipers. You're going to be spoiled for choice for authentic local food and the high turnover of customers means you're always going to served freshly cooked food.
A large part of the city was pedestrianised. Not by design but because of some roadworks. I really appreciated it though and think they should really consider making it a permanent feature.
I looked for a restaurant that was recommended to me called A2B, also known as Adyar Ananda Bhavan that serves South Indian vegetarian food. I got fed up of eating veg when I was in Jaipur and actually would have preferred to eat some meat but when a restaurant is recommended to you, it's best to go with that. Thankfully I wasn't disappointed. I was a bit confused with their system of how to get a table, how to order and what the food actually was but luckily some friendly locals helped me out.
After the meal, back out on the streets exploring, I came across a little hole in the wall shop selling Jigarthanda, some kind of local faluda-type of drink. I'd seen Jigarthanda promoted in my hotel's room service menu as some kind of local specialty and had planned to try it but since I had the opportunity to get one from a local place at a fraction of the price I didn't pass it up. It was a strange taste but not in a bad way.
With a full belly I headed back to Heritage Madurai hotel to relax, eat and relax some more. This is the life.

A Tamil lunch is what we call an 'Arusuvai Unavu' meaning 'A meal comprising the six tastes' - Sweet, Tangy, Bitter, Sour, Spicy and Salty.This balance of taste acts as a sumptuos yet a complete, healthy meal.Food is both philosophic and medicinal in nature in Tamil culture.And this is the order in which u have the lunch meal in Tamilnadu. It's called 'Meals' here which the north indians called 'Thali'. Rice mixed with.. 1)Paruppu with ghee 2)Sambar(Toor dhal based) 3)Kara kulambu/Puli kulambu(Tamarind based) 4)Rasam 5)Thayir/Curd Payasam is the dessert.The vegetables comes in three types Poriyal, Kootu and varuval.The vegetables are accompaniments or side dish u have with a main dish. You mix the various curries in the above order one after another with rice, have a mouthful along with small quantity of the veggie or Appalam. Combinations: Sambar+stir fry/deep fry Puli/Kara kulambu +Kootu Rasam+Kootu/deep fry Curd+deep fry or pickle(Not the American type. I'm talking oorkaaa) Appalam/Pappadam goes with all of it. Definitions: Poriyal - Stir fry Kootu - Veg cooked with gram dal Varuval - Crisp fry/Deep fry Kulambu - Gravy usually tamarind based. Rasam - A soup with tamarind base Sambar - Toor dhal cooked with vegetables Payasam - Sweet Curd - Yogurt Ghee - Clarified butter Pickle - Excellent with curd rice All the dishes above are vegetarian dishes.I can't even begin to explain about the vast array of meat/sea food based non-vegetarian Tamil food.That's for another day. - - - Those who are new to Tamil food usually thinks that mixing up all the items is the way to have it.. There are particular ways to eat which let's you enjoy the meal to the fullest.. It's frustrating to see the restaurant staff hesitating to teach others how to eat..They usually say just to mix it and eat it either due to language barrier or laziness..That's y the explanation.. I have left a lot of things purposefully. This is a typical banana leaf meal you have it in weddings and restaurants..If we had to talk about the varities of kuzhambu, sambhar, rasam as such including the mix and match types we'lll be needing a supercomputer..Thanks for all the likes and comments..

But there are many cities in the world like Labanese cities, Egyptian cities,Syrian cities or Iraqi cities,basically middle eastern cites are there which date back to 3rd millenium B.C and are still inhabitated continously. And there are Chinese cities too and Greek cities which date back to 2nd millenium B.C. In India itself there is Kashi(varanasi) which is pretty old and Indrapastha(delhi), Malwa(Ujjain) are contemporary to Madurai i suppose. Source: Wikipedia.

@@ANR1122 Restaurants are colloquially referred to as "hotels" in India, even if they aren't attached to traditional hotels that rent rooms for the night. I'm not entirely sure why that is. I think it has to do with the word "hotel" being associated with "hospitality," and hospitality is what you get at both restaurants and traditional hotels that rent out rooms.

FUN FACT FOR YOU DALE :- By the way Madurai is close to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 as it only takes a 55 minutes ( not even an hours ) journey directly by ✈️ from Madurai to Colombo . So when you next time come to India 🇮🇳 ( hopefully when the CORONAVIRUS ends ) you can easily go to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 from Madurai ( if you want to go by ✈️) Madurai is not far from another famous town In Tamil Nadu called Rameshwaram . The town of Rameshwaram is special for many reasons. The first reason it’s special is because it’s literally located right in the India 🇮🇳 Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 bridge 🌉 called the Rama setu ( Adams Bridge in English ) . It’s literally the last 🇮🇳 town before the no mans land & Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 which is located right in the bridge and you really have different and beautiful shades of blue sea 🌊 in the bridge of Rameshwaram and there’s even a beautiful national marine park located there . There’s even a 45 hour ferry ⛴ journey from Rameshwaram 🇮🇳 to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰 so If you want to literally travel between India and Sri Lanka in an adventurous way then I’d definitely recommend the 45 hour ferry ⛴ ride ( with rooms ) from Rameshwaram to Sri Lanka 🇱🇰. Tamil Nadu has many other beautiful towns also like Pondicherry ( Now called/ pronounced as Puducherry in Tamil amongst the locals ) it used to be a French 🇫🇷 colony and everything in the town of Pondicherry is French from architecture to art and even some cultural customs .

I couldn't control my laugh when u declared this place as spice gateway 😇😇😇just try andhra meals and feel what is real spice.. people like u doesn't have any global exposure or atleast national level, just blabber something which leads negative image for TN over rest of india.

The way to have meals: You mix one at a time generally with rice, one by one, then at the end mix rasam/curd in the left over rice. While having the rice you will just take one papad piece and eat it together. It won't taste good if you mix the dal/curry superficially with rice. You should mix properly so that the rice gets the flavor.
