Actually there’ll be much more item on banana leave that served at Kamat’s that day. If possible attend a traditional south indian marriage or other function. I’ll see if i can take a photo and send it across to you next time.
It is too good to see that such serving method does still exist. Last so many years people like me have forgotten the way of serving and eating such nicely served food .Thanks for the picture .
I’ve had lunch on a banana leaf at Kamat’s while on my way to Bandipur National Park via Mysore, and can still recall the delicious variety of veg food I’ve had with hot fluffy rotis and some good buttermilk.
Sidhu, how often I have to agree with you :)Sunil, you called London home too! Nice to see you have two homes.Nidhi, my own wedding was a South Indian one! So I know :)Arun, I clicked too early.Anonymous, thanks for the comment but a name would be so nice to go along with this lovely comment.Priyank, it is.Indica, you are right, the food definitely is worth remembering.
I remember a time when I was walked to a coconut grove by my grand parents. We were 10 cousins together. The grove was just beside a river. I remember eating curd rice with a fired mixture of mustard, onions & finely cut green chillies in it accompanied by the famous mango pickle served on a dried out banana leaf.Of course love was an important ingredient.The food, along with the magical setting (light wind that ruffled my hair, loose sand that squeezed through my toes and the sweet murmur of water flowing) took me to a different plane altogether.This simple meal is what I will cherish for my entire life. South Indian food is not just food – it is a concept worth living for.
Hygienic and eco-friendly at the same time…:)
Ahh another home.

Wow! reminds me of many things … That eggplant curry tastes divine hmmmm …
I agree Kusam, I agree the food was divine and the egg plant curry specially so.

Thanks for sharing Raman. Indeed we Indians have so much variety in food that we are really soiled for choice!
