Rakesh!! U are very lucky to have a mum like her.she is feeling bad that her level of consciousness was low back then.She is very much towards embracing ideologies of this decade.Not many parents are like this.They are unwilling to change. I luv her kindness and she is very gentle.Wanna a grandma like her.(Never had one in my life)

[@gowthami8233]

Ever since I discovered this channel, I've been binge watching all the videos. And mommy is soooooo cute 😍 "Choooiiii" 😂 Rakesh is so matured in the other videos, but on the videos with his mum, he becomes a curious little kid, so cute!!!

[@srilakshmisrinivasan2235]

Excellent.. Mayavaram is a metro and Madras is New York. I loved the sentence 👍👍

[@sjaya74]

Excellent. Even though I know abt this dish I watched fully for the wonderful delivery and transaction of it. Rama rocks❤️

[@duraisamym8609]

அந்த conversation...செம போங்கோ...சொல்லும் போதே செய்து சாப்பிட தூண்டுதே...ஹோட்டல்ல இதில் காரட்... தேங்காய் துண்டுகள் போடராங்க... பாஸ்

[@paddyskuttikuttitips]

It is really wonderful to see the discussion u both have very casually....😂😂and so lovely to hear ...ummachi kaappath..👌👌👌😀

[@Sathyabodha2411]

what made me laugh aloud is he is a chef n professional and his mom so cute parthu parthu jagrathe... that's mom is all about.. whatever age we are in their insecurity that something will hurt us will never go away :-) Loved it Rakesh .. I am a mom too tell my namaskarams to her..

[@umaganesh9737]

Loveble and sweet bond between mom and son. God bless you and your family. Happy karthigai deepam.

[@ramaananthakrishnan8335]

My grand parents were from Trichy ! therevalong with idlis , Vellai appam, was slso prepared on Deepavali mornings; 7:50 I remember Relishing it afterwards i didnt ever taste it; thank you for rekindling the fond memories and the authentic recipe ! Ps :; i gathered that the " Madi" people would not have s cooked breakfast like Idli so they would have this instead as it is a fried item😢 While grinding for idli for the rest of the family, a pirtion of rice batter and a little urad batter would be taken to create the vellaiappam batter

[@tomjerry6677]

Rakesh your clear explanation to audience is excellent. Your question from audience point of view is apt .

[@venuss431]

I love the way you both converse. Though I know the receipe sometimes I open just to hear your cute conversation. Happy deepawali to both of you. Sandhya padmanaban.

[@saimadevamani601]

பச்சரிசி மாவில் Super அப்பம்! Never tasted before. ராகேஷ் and அம்மா, Most of the cuisine you are teaching I never heard of before. I try out new recipes, which is kind of fun and am cooking up some happiness for my children!! Love it! Keep going. I love that casual talks while cooking. Have a safe and prosperous Diwali. Convey my தீபாவளி வாழ்த்துக்கள் to family too.
