Chef Shri Bala brings her grandmother's kitchen and all its memories to Chennai for this Purattasi spread
-
LET'S BE HONEST. Most of us ardent meat lovers dread Purattasi. A whole month of vegetarian meals, enforced by our pious families, can feel like culinary exile. But Chef Shri Bala might just change your mind. With finesse and a touch of nostalgia, she makes a case for why it's time to give veg food a real chance.
Visesham's Purattasi special, curated by Chef Shri Bala, is an all-vegetarian meal that feels more like an afternoon spent in someone's grandmother's kitchen than a restaurant experience.
We begin with the Pachamooligai rasam, a weekend staple at the chef's home. The first whiff is pure comfort.
