FOOD FOR WEDDINGS AND FESTIVALS

It is indeed surprising that in spite of living years together in Tamil Nadu, where VADAI and PAAL PAYASAM is the fare for for every festival, the TMDs never adopted the vadai -payasam for their festivals.
On the other hand, both the VADAI and PAAL PAYASAM are never ever made for auspicious occasions. The Vadai is made for inauspicious ceremonies! So the paal payasam too!

A typical meal for a wedding would include TWO KOSHIMBIRIS, TWO BHAJIS, KHADI, PITLA, AMBODE, CHINCH BHATH, KHEER, RAITHA, WARAN and the sweet dish would be PURAN POLI/ SEMIYA PHENI/ CHIROTI /MAANDE etc. Besides this would be the JHANGRIS, LAADUS/ BURFIS etc.

TMDs also make a SWEET KOSHAMBRI with chanadal, sugar, elaichi and dry copra. Usually this is the second koshambri.

A specialty among the SMARTHA MARATHI DESHASTHAS from Thanjavur is the KAANDE SAMBHAR (Onion Sambhar) that is made for the JHANVAAS jevan. This is zealously avoided by the MADHWA faction of the TMDs.

SOME MORE RARE PHRASES....

Here are a few rare phrases....

BHARADUN GELA.... This is used to describe a person who after a long denial of something like food or anything materialistic, grabs it all for himself in a rush.

ANVARLAAHEY... Taken after. Like son taking after the father in habits, looks etc. In my knowledge, this is more used in a negative sense.

DEVA MHANOONA BAISE....Means Sit Quietly. Literally translated Deva means God, mhanoona means saying and baise means sit
