Every time I introduce my paati to a new dish from a different cuisine, she immediately comes up with a South Indian equivalent .She gets so excited that she tries in vain to prove to me and my sister,how much healthier "our" food is!

Amused , we decided to publish Paati’s Noruku Theeni Dictionary of American Confectionary
"Their" dish vs "Our" dish
Pizza - Vegetable dosai
Burger - Vada pav
Onion rings - Vengaya bajji
Noodles - Lemon sevai
Donut - Thithipu vadai
Falafal - Palapalam (ok just because they sound similar?!)
Buritto - Chappathi kalanda sadham
Hashbrown - Potato bonda
Icecream - Frozen payasam
Tomato soup - Rasam
Chips - Appalam/vadam
Cornflakes - Oats Kanji
Cappucino - Filter kapi
According to pakathu aathu maama, the law of tambrahm culinary has it , that for every foreign dish, there is an equal and tastier saathvika("our") saapadu.Besh besh,mama ! Kalakitel pongo.
