Music Sabha Canteens-Gnanambiga Meals

Gnanambika Canteen

      Sweetened Milk Khova was of right consistency and taste.
     
      Cucumber Raita (Vellari Pachadi) was fresh and tender.
     
      Broad beans (Avaraikai) shallow fried with sprinkled coconut gratings was a visual delight. The greenish colour of raw broad beans was retained even after cooking. The taste was the same which I used to have in my childhood. Ven poosani koottu (Ash gourd gravy) with mochai kottai (a type of beans) was good.

      Fried Brinjal masala (Vathakkal) was excellent with right amount of spiciness.

      Radish Sambar, Toamto Rasam, Vendaikai (ladies finger) Kara Kuzhambu were of homely taste.

   
Overall, the meals was healthy & tasty with less masalas. Right quantity of salt and spice (karam) in the meals helped to relish the original taste of other ingredients.

        Meals in unlimited. So you can ask for extra servings without hesitation.

        Each and every dish were served piping hot, right from the stove.

        Cost-Rs.180 per head.
