WELLNE~

Dear readers, I recently came across a very engaging debate on whether Chennai came first or Madras. Some historians believed that it was improper to celebrate the colonial past of the City. As for us, we believe that any reason that celebrates the spirit of the city is good enough. So this August, we being you a special tribute to Madras or Chennai - a city that transcends time.

This dish is actually a vegetarian version of the Kair katti kola urundai (minced lamb dumplings tied together in banana fibre), a speciality from Tanjore or Thanjavur. A dish that originated in the 19th century Tanjore, it is said to be inspired by Maratlu cuisine ( Yes,the Maratha dynasty ruled Thanjavur from 1674 to 1855 AD). In fact, the very famous South Indian sambhar is said to have Tanjore - Marathi origins.

A variation of the Maharashtrian Shunti, kola urundais or these deep-fried raw plantain balls reveal an exciting burst of flavours including fennel, cinnamon and cashew nut. Very few in the state have the ability to reproduce these balls in authentic manner. Maplai in ECR boasts of the best in town.

Having said that, the vast array of food served in the buffet section is a feast for royalty. Especially in the Pan Asian counters! These live counters are abuzz with food theatrics and only require your tasting preferences. The Salmon Sushi arrived all wrapped up in layers of exotic Asian flavours with the seafood ensconced snuggly within. The mushy rice had its own savour and played a perfect base as an adhesive. The salmon is finely sliced and its nude pinkish colour is visually aesthetic. The cut itself is faultless with a satinish feel for texture.

However, it is the darksoy Sauce and the 'atomic' Wasabi, served as accompaniments to the sushi,that finally takes precedence in terms of flavour and taste by lending that explosive spice and heat.

The Chicken Satay is hip, modern but rooted in custom in terms of presentation. The reddishgolden glaze cover on the satay is enticing in its appeal. The SchemanNoodles were rich and were made richer by the combination of special sauces and vegetable stock. If desserts are an indication of the dining finale, the Vanilla Fried Ice Cream came in all guns blazing! The sweet and the fried elements blended smoothly and made an astounding pair - like opposites in a blissful matrimony!

MADRAS WALK

When Madras fell

\r

"\

Did you know that Thefamed Battle of Madras or Fall of Madras took place in September 1746?

On September 7th 1746, Madras (then under British rule) woke up to find a French fleet on the shore. By the following morning, the British casualties were high and so the Governor of Madras, Nicholas Morse sued for peace. The French Governor of Pondicherry, Dupleix who planned the attack on Madras had promised the Nawab of the Carnatic that he would hand over Madras to him after they capture it from the British. But later, he refused to do so. Madras was returned to England in 1748 to restore peace. To h s day, the statue of Dupleix exists in Puducherry beach. The other noted personality of this incident was Robert Clive, a young British clerk who escaped the clutches of the French to report the news of the fall of Madras to his superiors at Fort St David.

For an expat who wants to take home a memoy, what are the must-buys in Chennai?

A kanchipuram silk saree, handmade mythical sculptures form Mahabalipuram Your expm'ence of re-inventing the classic Kanjeevaram sari for a global audience?

Handloom has become the headline of fashion. It is a deeply satisfying experience as a designer to see indian rural designs being appreciated globally.

When foreigners request Ikhat, Pochampally and Kalamkari over Polka dots and stripes, I feel Indian Handloom has done it part in recognising global handloom artisans.

Who has been your design inspiration?

To be honest, none.By the time I finish a design, I don't know form where the train of thoughts began. I think that is the case with all designers.

What's been your favourite 'sari' memory?

Of course, the first saree I wore. It was for my school farewell. I wore a moss green georgette with black handwork patterns. I still beat myself for not wearing a kanchjeevaram though.

Tipsfor afirst-time sari buyer?

Go for a brand that you can trust. Have all your doubts cleared when you buy your saree. Don't have a preset design palate in your mind. Review the brand's signature designs and then take a call.

Don't Google, "latestsaree designs". Set your own Tipsfor expats to stay or travel safe in our cities?

Travel with a local friend. Who will stay with you through your tour from the moment you've been picked up and dropped. Please do not travel in public transport / cabs without your local friend.

Best restaurant to t y out authentic Tamil cuisine ?

Taj Southern Spice Best staycation in Chennai Fishermens Cove. Close to Mahabalipuram where you can meet and greet a lot of home-artisans and explore their work. The stay will be serene beyond measure with the beach waves waking you up every morning. A coastal staycation dream.

Best way to get a cultural immersion of the city in a short duration?

Find a local friend and ask him/her to take you around. Don't go for a travel agent. The best part of India are always hidden within small gullies which can be easily missed out by big travel agencies/.

Experience the culture with someone who truly loves the culture.
