I am pulling out of blogging world for some time. my comments would be sporadic.

Dreams Unlimited

Couple of days back i had a very sweet dream and had a cherubic conversation with my pasamalar. Its gonna be a Web chat as follows

Me: De.. erukeya ??
Pasamalar:
Me: enna? Smiley pooDura? Hey I wanted to ask you something?
Pasamalar: enna?
Me: Did you ever tried “Akaravadisal” ? Hope you know how cook that?
I got few recipes in the internet. Just curious vera oNNum iLLa,
appuram srirangathu ponnuikku theriunchu erukanmey adhu dhaan.
Pasamalar: Enna all of a sudden mmm .. I know. I would send my recipe.
Me: Did u tried @least once and hope you know it’s not Pongal?
Pasamalar: Dei romba seen poDatha. I know it’s not Pongal and I used to cook that.
Me : mm.. Appadiya .. appo unakku “ThirukanAmmudhu” theriuma ?
Pasamalar: #*)(#)_#$_#$(!@(!@!@!!@
Me: enna —
Pasamalar: Hey both are same.. i asked amma also..
Me: indha kathai ellam vendam.. Amma Va iLLaya adha mattum sollu ?
Pasamalar: 
Me: Podi iNga vengalam ( Sound it like Jilendru Oru Kadhal Jho ).
Pasamalar : appuram.. vera enna,…
Me: Sutham.. go back to your cookery books, turn the rusty pages and read properly.
There is a great line of difference between Thirukannamudhu Vs Akkaravadisal Vs Pongal.
Pasamalar: poDa.. Why are eating my head like this.
Me: illa Di… I had a sweet dream and in that I am eating all three dishes. adhu dhaan saapadum pola eruindhuchu vera onnum illa.
Pasamalar: mmm

Cooking is actually manodharama (ya ya something like music)…

Certain dishes has list of steps to do
Certain dishes has aroma
Certain dishes has kai-pakkuvoma
Certain dishes has extra nativity, motherhoodness
Certain dishes has divinity to it..
And so on..

But very few dishes twins all the properties… in that Thirukannamudhu, Akkaravadisal, Pongal are doubly stamped with extra specialized attributes.

There is thin line of implementation difference phenomenally boosting the taste. I had gulped enough of it in my earlier days and badly badly missing this now.

More over I like the nomenclature theorem for this…

Thirukannamudhu – First time I seeing a grt8 respect, surname, potion or vita name amalgamated to a dish.. “Thiru” + “ Kanna “ + “Amudhu”
Akkaravadisal – “Finest form of Porridge” specially invented by Srivalliputhur renganayaki to srirangam renganathar
Pongal – Hope everybody knows the sweet meaning to it.

Some interesting myth prevails around are..

1. Akkaravadisal requires Bronze pot ( vengala paney ) to cook to enhance the taste. Actual physics says you need keep stir it to get finest taste.
2. Most of the times srirangam akkaravadisal has some Smokey taste and its fondly tagged as “Perumal vandhu saaputara” adhu dhaan eppadi smell vardhu

** i missed kalkandu pongal in this series.. Try out all types ..

1. Pongal ( Typical Dravidian formula )
2. Akkaravadisal ( Typical Srirangam or vishu temple receipe ) (http://mykitchenpitch.wordpress.com/2007/01/11/akkaara-adisil-maargazi-27/)
3. Thirukanna-Amudhu ( Bangalore Kadham hotel serves hot hot types )
4. Kalkandu Pongal ( http://mykitchenpitch.wordpress.com/2007/04/01/kalkandu-pongal/ )

Every body deserves this dish in life time.
*** Internet may provide good recipe details.

Nenjill oru Thumbi parakkum aiyo aiyo

Swimming is one superb thing i would like to do for ever. Right from my kolidam days to jayanagar swimming pool times its amazing to remember. Huh I am missing all now. To fill that gap jogging stormed into my day to day life. I started jogging for Bangalore marathon (only celebrating run) and do couple of rounds in and around yediur lake or lalbagh. That’s it.

@present I am taking jogging as serious aspect of life. My jogging aromatically improvised by I.R, A.R.R, Yuvan, HJ, VS and all music souls. It’s such a pleasure to run with the tycoons and you hum urself till fellow joggers are staring @ you.

Last week I started with “Break the Rules” Boys song. My warm mode accelerated with this high groove song. When ever “Maaro Maaro” stanza comes I hum myself and when it changed the pitch “MaaroMaaroMaaro” I double my steps to cover the destination fast. It’s just another way to move urself with the song.

Few seconds later I got this D.A.T.I.N.G – Dating is a fantasy song. It’s a usual hip-hop number from A.R.R and I hum myself and proceeded. Suddenly something hit me back. I donna what is that and turned the song in a repeat mode till I finish the jogging.

Again while I walking down to office i played the same song… Oh man now I got it… Is it “Shankarabharam” or “Mayamalagowla” or hamasadhwani…?

konjam doubt, konjam resemblance, konjam joy …As usual all my doubts down poured to another head – to my world of music. without knowing the time and context i pushed my doubts.

after a while in ur busy hours u got ur answer saying:”yes its sounds like ‘Shankarabharam ‘…” inbetween hamasadhwani also Oh man “Nenjill oru Thumbi parakkum aiyo aiyo… “
