Perfect Tamil Vegetarian Lunch Menu For Wedding

Wedding is a time to rejoice. Apart from the bride, groom, dress, jewels etc.. the first thing which people hail and complain is about the food.

Wedding sans a feast? Impossible! I truly love the South Indian wedding feast. The tradition of eating on the “ Thala Vaazha Illai” (banana leaf) is something which is inexplicable. You must experience it. After the main course of sambar , rasam and thayir , we are served with paayasam (kheer) on the same leaf. You wouldn’t believe –the leftover tinges of the main course sticks to this payasam and when you relish it with the appalam- ha ! you feel heaven swirling in your tongue.

And finally- the beda (paan/ sweet betel ) – the satiating flavor of the feast.
