Indianness III - Our gourmet ancestors....

Have you ever wondered? Our ancestors somehow developed the knack of eating in a simple yet grand style. What when eaten with what would give the best taste. Consider these eclectic combinations, where each one seems to be indispensable now.
  • Adai + Avial + Vellam/Gur + Butter
  • Dosa + Sambhar + Chutney + Molaga Poodi + Masala (Alu Sabji)
  • Curd Rice + Vadu Maanga (piece + saline juice) + Fried Salted Molagai
  • Bisi Bhele Bath + Ghee + Papad/Chips/Vadam
  • Raw Mango/ Nellikai + Chilli-Salt powder
  • Vada + Sambhar
  • Pori (Puffed Rice) + Kadalai (Groundnuts..)

Additions welcome.
