Vanakam fellow foodies! The truth of the matter is, you are not going to find good South Indian cooking- I'm talking dosa, idli, sambar, chutney- in Boston. Believe me, I've tried it all. After four years of living in Tamil Nadu in the South of India and being around yummy goodness all the time, I'm back in Boston and my passion for cooking inspired by my mother's magical ways in the kitchen gave me the idea to bring some quality Tamil food in the Boston area.
I've strayed to other cultural foods but I always came back to home cooking to satisfy my soul. After experimenting with cooking this and that, I decided to really buckle down and learn things the old fashioned way - from my mother. My mother got her talent and perfection from her mother and that's just the way I would like to learn. Food is a language of it's own and I want to learn all of the traditional ways around the kitchen.
Oh and did I mention, I recently went vegan. Instead of going crazy with all that fancy shmancy vegan food, I figured that other than ghee (clarified butter) and curd, South Indian cooking is vegan. These ingredients are not always needed and if they are used, they can be substituted. So no need to look for some new special diet when everything is right at home.
We want to take this on the road and bring YOU some good, vegan, Tamil home cookin' ! Join us on our adventure as we figure out how to bring this project to life. And as for the name, it's Tamil for Mom's House is Our House.
This is us in Hampi. That's Radha & Shoba.
