MYSTERY & MAGIC 10/08/2023

Many Arts in Kerala are more ritual than performance, seen by the gods alone or by a select band of the devout. "Koodiyattam" and the exclusively female act of "Nangiyar Koothu", thought to be the oldest forms of theatre in India, are just emerging into common spaces. For Ex : “Kaikottukkali”, an alluring dance of steps, gestures and twirls repeated in a circle, is performed to revive Kama from the ashes. Luckily, the Culinary Arts is open for all . Experience the Mystery and Magic of Palakkad Cuisine !

WHAT MAKES THE THAMARA KAZHANGU VATHAL ( SUN DRIED LOTUS STEMS ) SPECIAL ? 25/07/2023

It has to do with the Lotus Plant Plant itself : The Lotus embodies all four elements . The plant springs from the mud (Earth) and must be firmly rooted there. Water is necessary to sustain the plant and the stalks are hollow . The leaves and flowers rise from the depths and are held above the water’s surface, representing Air. The air spaces within the stems maintain buoyancy. The flowers and leaves unfurl, representing transformation or Fire. The Lotus flowers are Sun-Lovers and Summer, or the season of Fire, is when the Lotus blossoms.

Crunchier and Nutritious than the Crispiest Potato Chips... Sun-Dried Lotus Stems ( THAMARA KAZHANGU VATHAL ) are a staple of Palakkad Cuisine. Watch how they are fried

and made crisp

Agile fingers, worn and aged with the passage of time, twist the spicy dough into uniform swirls on oily, circular plates . As the plates are dropped into the oil and the murukku sizzles and turn golden, they are removed from the oil and dropped in wicker baskets. Then the next batch goes into the oil. The Legendary artisans of KAI MURUKKU win hands down when it comes to preparing one of the most demanding crafts of cooking. A culinary skill meticulously passed down from one generation to another.
