AS A CHINESE MALAYSIAN I SAY RASAM IS A MUST WHEN WE EAT BANANA LEAF RICE.

[@admirer4272]

As a south indian rasam or mor (butter milk) is the end coz they are good for digestion. And I don't want to buy them cause we get served on our birthdays and any other special occasions and some porials and curries may very depending on where you live. And payasam is must at last...

[@MuazMalek]

Benci tengok video ni... Arghhhh, rindunya nak makan banana leaf. 😭

[@azlirazli7500]

I had this banana leaf meal at brickfields and adding the varuval chicken is a must! One thing about their service; I don't know why, but while I'm eating, they will keep pouring me the curry and those gravy from the silver container. I didn't refuse it as i really enjoy the meal till i full enough. Hahaha... The best indian food always at brickfields where you can have the authentic southern indian food while listening to non stop indian songs, what a great ambience.

My late grandparents told me during their childhood time. They also had meal on the banana leaf. Not because they didn't want to wash plates but at that time it was the Japanese occupation. Everything was hard to get.

[@saffrondominic4585]

Using banana leaf to eat is part of Tamil culture, no mater where they live. Tamil diaspora through out the world from traditional background still uses it on daily basis, while others use it during special occasions due to limited access. The scientific reasons is banana leaf has high content of chlorophyll.

Sad nwdays many Indian restaurants dont serve complete banana leaf meas like this. It s always usual 3 sayur and curry then done

[@enchesoyaregaliaatriadelig5951]

Do agree with you... We may lack of the authenticity of banana leaf meal... But I think it quite costly n many of us prefer the economy one... Maybe some of us still hesitate to try everything n some of us afraid they will waste the food that they nvr like to eat...

It's to avoid wastage. Many things are still available, but only upon request.

[@silverraj3168]

Nandini sis, which restuarant did you buy?

[@jollyjohn5820]

Unlike other South Indian way of eating on banana leaves, the Malayalees in Kerala would normally mix the side dishes with the rice in a clockwise direction. Papadam is never added with the payasam but mix with the rice and the curries. In the event if the food is chilly hot and spicy, the yogurt curry which is one of the Malayalee specialty is added therein. There is a reasons why the dishes are taken in a clockwise directions on a banana leave, the saying among Malayalees goes saying take food as your medicine and not medicine as your food.

It doesn't sound like r. actually in Tamil language the letter L is pronounced in 3 different sounds.. The correct placing of the tongue in which, 1. one behind the teeth 2. In the middle palate 3. at the back of the soft palate. The zh sound used to indicate the 3rd one.
