It’s weekend dinner time and Annam Iyarkkai Unavagam at RS Puram is buzzing. Tables are full, orders keep pouring in, and waiters are on their toes. At one of the tables, a birthday celebration begins with cake cutting, followed by selfies, and soon laughter fills the air. It’s time to turn my attention to the food on my table. First, I bite into an earthy millet sandwich, generously filled with vegetables and soft cottage cheese. The bread made from a combination of jowar, ragi, and pearl millet flour, is light and airy and blends well with the savoury filling. Next is mushroom Pallipalayam , a vegetarian adaptation of the classic Kongunadu-style Pallipalayam chicken. Succulent mushrooms, tossed with shallots, curry leaves, dried red chillies and spices, served with thin coconut slices, pack in the flavour.
