After a long break, I am finally back to Oxford! I have traveled a lot this year, besides have been shuttling back and forth from Mississippi to Tennessee for the last couple of months. Oh man, I can’t take anymore trip…I am sick as a dog. Wish, I could lie down…without moving a finger. Anyhow, need to focus on something though!
Well, coming on to my today’s recipe…nothing fancy, but a very classy Tamil dish. Yes, quintessential breakfast to every Tamil family. Though, this particular combination is very close to my heart…I have never attempted to prepare it, here at Oxford. Hmmm, mainly because of lack of all the essential ingredients. Its never the same! Whenever a particular ethnic dish is taken out of its territory…it undergoes a series of change. Clearly, I feel terroir (taste of a place) plays an important role in enhancing the flavor and emotions associated with it.
As I was browsing through my older files…I came across at these pictures. I had prepared this for my folks, last year…when I visited India:) Indeed, a virtual treat to my sore eyes:)

Interesting! Being from Vellore, I’ve been a fan of the Palace cafe idli/sambar. Felt nice to be reminded of the place, now that I hardly have any ties with Vellore.
Cheers!
Hello Pradeep,
I am a die-hard fan of Palace cafe sambar too. Its pretty much the same, at my end too. I grew up in that little town…now just left with only some sweet memories to cherish!!!
