As a South-Indian am more used to this sort of “Thali valai illai sappadu”(banana leaf lunch)whether it’s a basic capacity at home or a great marriage the food varieties served in banana leaf is a must.The more extensive piece of the leaf should be on the right hand side and subsequent to setting the leaf it is sprinkled with water and cleaned before serving.
After completing the supper we should close the leaf from top end shut over the base and this implies that you have partaken in the full feast however never close the leaf from base over the top it shows a sort of lack of respect both to the food and individuals who have cooked it and served.
Those days we won’t utilize seats and tables we use to sit on a coir mat spread on the floor and the stupendous feast will be served on those greeny leaves.
Our precursors set everything with an explanation like eating on the floor we use to twist and have food with our hands so we have better assimilation and flexibility.

A commonplace lunch menu is in a request that we will initially have a basic dal with ghee then comes the sambar, kootu,rasam,curd (or mor) will be the genuine request ordinarily finishing with a sweet and a banana!Then and there licking the pickle for additional punch obviously poriyal(stir fry) and dry fries,applams are added to the servings.This is supposed to be a generous supper satisfying the psyche and soul.In our place we have our desserts served first with banana and a typical sweet served is sweet boondi(using besan)and many would eat boondi independently and hardly any will blend it in with ready banana and eat with a decent bit of ghee in it,then the rice servings begins as usual.For me I like this boondi banana combination particularly in my youth days however not much nowadays I love it to have separately.Karakulambu is likewise served alongside this menu as I did both mor kulambu and kootu didn’t add this to my menu.
