-

Tamil Nadu is a culinary wonderland that transcends ordinary gastronomic experiences. Its vibrant and diverse food scene offers a delectable array of dishes for festivals, gatherings, and everyday cravings. Renowned as a haven of gourmet treats, the State's opulent food traditions offer a flavour fiesta that unfolds like a symphony for the taste buds. At the heart of this culinary extravaganza, the use of rice, lentils, coconut, and spices, with meat and legumes play vital roles to elevate each dish to a culinary masterpiece. Experience the authentic flavours and palate-popping wonders of Tamil Nadu by seeking out dishes that proudly wear the Geographical Indication (GI) badge - a marker of unique products that reflect the qualities and culture of the area they come from. As you travel across Tamil Nadu, you can sample a wide range of dishes ideal for every meal, from breakfast to lunch and dinner.
Here, we have curated a list of a few GI-tagged cuisines from Tamil Nadu that you must try at least once in your lifetime.
OOTY VARKEY
A distinctive delicacy from Ooty is the flavourful nibble, Varkey. It is a unique crispy snack borne out of a blend of diverse ingredients including wheat flour, salt, sugar, ghee, vegetable oil, mava, and water. The mava that goes in the snack is prepared from bananas, semolina, maida, and sugar. In addition, the characteristic properties of water and weather in Ooty give Varkey a peculiarly unique taste that you will not find elsewhere. Varkey is primarily a biscuit consumed with tea during snack hours. The texture of the biscuit is crusty and crackly on the first encounter with your mouth. You can also have it whenever you feel the taste buds tingling, as it is quite easy on the stomach.

THE SOLE MEMORY
I WAS LOOKING FOR A SHOE shop to get my favourite pair repaired. The August Texan heat had loosened the sole on one of them. In other times, I would have thrown the pair away rather than go through the trouble of finding a repair shop. But I loved these shoes and searched for someone to bring them back to life.

THE BORDERLESS GURU
THE AIR IS THIN, TINGED with the scent of juniper. A swift wind whips through faded prayer flags, while glaciers carve valleys and jagged peaks pierce a sky the colour of lapis lazuli. Standing here, the idea of political borders feels almost absurd. Maps may mark out India, Nepal, Bhutan, or Tibet, but the landscape itself refuses to be partitioned. These mountains carry a shared heritage, embodied by a single figure who transcends frontiers: Padmasambhava, the Lotus-Born. Known as Guru Rinpoche, the Precious Master, Padmasambhava brought Buddhism to Tibet in the eighth century. His image gazes out from gompas across the Himalayas-wrathful yet compassionate, eyes filled with the wisdom of lifetimes. To see him only as a missionary is to miss the larger truth.
