She is a gracious hostess and is ever ready to churn up a typically traditional Tamil Nadu cuisine for her patrons at her very own home called “Mercy’s Kitchen”. As a fitting end to any holiday and importantly valuing our patrons, Mercy will carry out a cooking demonstration at her home (Mercy’s Kitchen) in Madurai, Tamil Nadu for you to savour some traditional culinary delights of South Indian cuisine.
The food prepared by Mercy is rich in both vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes. Different kinds of spices are added to give a distinctive taste to each dish she prepares. You will certainly appreciate the original taste of traditional South Tamil Nadu cuisine at Mercy’s kitchen.
Mercy’s aim is to cater to the taste of the majority of her patrons so the food will be prepared to suit your individual taste buds and liking.
Traditionally, a South Indian cuisine is served on a banana leaf and people sit on the floor to eat. At Mercy’s home, you will be given the option to either sit at the table or sit on the floor.
A typical vegetarian meal consists of Rice, Sambhar (Curry), and two types of vegetables, curd and a pickle. Dosas, idlis, Upma, Parota, Sambhar, Rasam, Pongal are the dishes with which the cuisine of Tamil Nadu is identified. Payasam, Kesari, Sweet Pongal are the sweet treasure of this cuisine.
Similarly, there are some of us for whom a good meal almost always means a meaty affair. With so many varied kinds of non-vegetarian dishes, one is sure to be bowled over with lip-smacking food that Mercy has to offer. So why not try your hands on a non-vegetarian dish like Biriyani, fish or chicken curry, masala prawns, butter chicken and Rogan Josh to name a few.
Filter coffee is a speciality of the South-Indian cuisine and will be served following your meal.
An upset stomach affects everyone from time to time, often throwing a wrench into our daily activities. One does not have to be worried as Mercy is very conscious about the food and hot and cold beverages she serves. Every endeavour is made by Mercy to avoid contracting microbial contaminants. She’s a stickler for cleanliness and quality.
