ADI PERUKU
Adiperukku is a monsoon Tamil festival celebrated on the 18th day of the Tamil month of Adi (mid July but last year it was on the 3rd of august ) Its like a thanks giving to monsoon which fills the rivers – the lifeline of farmers. My dad being a marine engineer, even we owe a lot to the water bodies :) The festival is celebrated in full fervor by people residing along the Cauvery River bank. ‘Perukku’ in tamil means rising – indicating the rising water in rivers. The festival is essentially a form of Nature worship. All of us can’t afford to go the Cauvery banks so in India my mom worships the tap from which the Cauvery water comes (mordern version or rather lazy version of Adi peruku) I did the same in the US but then instead of Cauvery it was “Salt river “. So mine is pseudo version of Adi peruku , whatever it is we had fun :)
I made all these all by myself that too without tasting it :) From left corner appalam, masala vada, sundal, curd rice, gulab jamun, malai ladoo, coconut rice, tamarind rice, lemon rice, potato curry and avial Thanks to my bubu ,he'll never stop me from making any dish and is also ready to taste even the weirdest dish which i find online. After all practice makes a man perfect!!
