#forgottenfavourite KOZHAMBU, RASAM and KAI. Always, this was the menu for lunch at my pukkaam. Sometimes add-ons were thovayal, thair pachadi and appalam. Typically South Indian, with slight Andra touch, because my mil lived in Andra before her marriage. By the way I want to tell you all that she was Vahitha Rehman's class mate in school. In my pukkaam, food was  cooked in large quantities because we were a big family. We were not the touch and go kind of eaters. We liked all vegetables, none of us were finicky about garlic and onions. My mother in law cooked very tasty food. She spent a lot of time in kitchen.  She liked to serve all of us and then eat. But but but...... I missed the variety that I was used to in my mom's kitchen. She cooked quickly and came out of the kitchen to watch her favourite TV soaps. She was not very fond of staying in the kitchen, she just went in to do her duty. At times she tried Mallika Badrinath recipes, and we used to make fun of it....
