Today Jan 14th was such a pious day in my motherland,India- A day when Hindus are celebrating myriad of fun filled festivals in different states like "Bhogali Bihu" in Assam,"Lohri" in Punjab,"Uttarayan & Kite Festival" in Gujarat,"Bhogi" in Andhra Pradesh,"Pongal/Makar Sankaranthi" in the rest of the country like Tamil Nadu,Kerala,Karnataka,Maharashtra,Uttar Pradesh,Bihar and Bengal and on the other side, our Muslim brothers and sisters are celebrating"Milad un-Nabi/Id-E-Milad"
It originated in Madurai, a city in the Tamil Nadu state of India. Jigarthanda was popularised by the Muslim settlers in the areas around Madurai, which is still the only city where this drink is found authentic
In South India where rice is a staple food, several distinct varities of biryani emerged from Tamil Nadu, Karnataka (Donne Biryani), Kerala (Malbar Biryani), Telengana and Andhra Pradesh (Hyderabadi Biryani) states
The Penang version that’s popular locally and abroad is the “mamak” version which was preferred by the South TamilMuslim community who were immigrants from South Indian who arrived in Malaysia and who operated many of the mamak stalls of Malaysia
This variety of briyani is quite popular in south India particularly in Dindigul, Tamil Nadu. The Lucknow (Awadhi) biryani is the footprint that the Muslims of theMughal Empire left on the northern part of India
As I was eating it, several other dishes came to my mind – the rava kesari, the Tamils make at home with either saffron or yellow colouring and the sooji halwa my Punjabi friend makes with a bit of chopped pineapple in it
It is a common sight to most of Mamak’s (A food establishment which serves Mamak food where Mamak refers to TamilMuslims living in Malaysia who generally own and operate them) tables, it is even placed in condiments area for easy access as this dish can be eaten anytime of the day
