Everyone falls in love with The Bangala and it's good. Here is what @kishiarora has to say: I have been traveling to the south of India frequently for past few months. Reasons to travel keep changing. Taking off from food, friends and vacation. Visited Karaikudi few times and fell in love with @thebangala 🏡 I was lucky to eat like a Chettiar. Not only I experienced good food I learned a few recipes too. Divvying up the recipe of the Tomato Chutney. Oh, and if you desire to discover more about the Chettinad cuisine get yourself @thebangalatable cookbook📖 and thank me later. Tomato Chutney - excellent with idlis , dosais WET PASTE🍅🌶 -2 medium tomatoes chopped -2 tbsp finely chopped onions -20 peeled shallots -10 dried red chillies (goondu milagai) -1 marble size ball of tamarind -1 tsp sea salt or to taste TEMPERING🌶🍅 - 1/4 cup vegetable oil - 1 tsp black mustard - 1 tsp urad dal , hulled , split - 20 curry leaves METHOD 👈🏼📋🌶🍅😍 1.

😍#Repost @b_barnali with @repostapp ・・・ At Achi Meenakshi Meyappan's grand and opulent home, MSMM Mansion at Karaikudi. Here the floor and roof tiles, Belgian chandelier, walls, intricate pillars, everything demands that you gaze at them lovingly. To admire! There is a lot that Karaikudi owes to her. Besides creating an amazing destination @thebangala, known for its mindblowing #Chettinadcuisine. The #Raintree at #Tajconnemara had paled in comparison to the food I had tasted at The Bangala. . Getting invited to visit her family home and allowed to shoot there was a privilege for me and my crew! Thank you for the memories that will last me a lifetime!! . . . #chettinad #chettinadmansion #karaikudi #architecture #opulence #thankyou #heritage #heritagehome #travel #travelphotography #travelersnotebook #travelgram #instatravel #instatravelgram #traveller #insta #instagood #instago #instalike #instafollow #followforfollow #followme #ig_tamilnadu #tamilnadu #timetravel (at Karaikudi)
