On an overcast Sunday morning, Vasisht S, a chartered accountant from Chennai’s West Mambalam, made an announcement at home: ‘We’ll eat lunch outside.’ A few hours later, the Vasisht household — comprising 11 people — headed to a wedding feast and ate to their hearts’ content.
Only, there was no bride or groom.
The menu however, included dishes like Srirangam puliyodharai, kadamba sambar and beans paruppu usili, and featured almost everything you get at a traditional Tamil vegetarian wedding meal. Including the welcoming ambience.
