Is This South India's Friendliest City? 🇮🇳
Рет қаралды 731,409
Күн бұрынToday we're exploring the ancient city of Madurai here in Tamil Nadu!
We took the local bus into Madurai city and a lovely local man bought us some breakfast then walked us to the stunning Meenakshi temple complex. You aren't allowed to enter the temple with a camera but we luckily got invited up to a rooftop with a fantastic view over all 4 towers.
After that we got a super fresh street coconut, tried the famous Madurai Jigarthanda then went for some proper pure veg banana leaf food.
On the way home we stopped at a huge popup clothing shop where Alicia bought a new kurti ready for pongal festival.
Now we were planning on ending the video here but then our homestay host recommended we go eat some mutton biryani and kari dosai so that is exactly what we did!
Is Madurai India's friendliest city? We've found people here super kind and helpful. 🇮🇳

Geneticists from the University of Madurai tested the DNA of villagers in Tamil Nadu to get a clue about our migrational history. Professor Ramasamy Pitchappan tested a man called Virumandi and in his DNA (Gene-M130) was the marker of the first human migration that took place some 70,000 years ago.

Some etiquette for eating in banana leaf. 1.always sprinkle and wipe before eating. 2.the pointy side of leaf should be always towards your left. 3. Side dishes are served on the top portion ans main dishes on the bottom portion. 4.side dishes they served here are salt, gooseberry pickle, cabbage poriyal- sauted veg, some sort of aviyal - steames vegetables, kootu - veg with lentil and coconut, vada, papadam- a rice crisp, mor melagai. 4. The main dishes served here are rice, nei paruppu-lentil with ghee, sambar, rasam- soupy dish with tamarind, cumin and pepper. Curd. Usually theyre eaten in this order sambar, vatha/puli kulambu ( a thick sour dish with dry/fresh veg), butter or curd, finally rasam and then dessert. 5. After the meal you fold your leaf towards you if you liked the meal, away from you if yourenot satisfied. 6. Salt and pickle are always served first. 7. You can mix and match anything but never mix bread and rice.

1:10:59 Ragi malt, made from finger millet, is rich in nutrients. It provides a good source of calcium, iron, fiber, and essential amino acids. It can aid in weight management, support bone health, and help regulate blood sugar levels due to its low glycemic index. Additionally, the antioxidants in ragi contribute to overall well-being and may help prevent certain diseases.

Just so that you'll know, all the government buses in Tamilnadu are beaten up because they run at avery cheap price (most of them are free for women) to help the poor who use them on a daily basis, hence not a lot of features for comfort but does the job! Really great videos, hope you're liking our beautiful Tamil Nadu

Indeed undoubtedly it is the most friendliest people you will ever see in India… where you have the oldest civilisation of the world and they believe “Every life on earth are your friends and family” that you can literally get in any of the houses there and ask for help and stay there…! Which I hardly find that love and affection if I come out of that district, and it will be greatly reduced when you come out of the southern states, and you no where find it if you go out of India! ♥️

How to eat meals. 1. Start with rice and daal(taste daal and add salt if needed. probably salt is less in daal) 2. Next sambar with rice(can be mixed with daal as well if you like). While eating sambar you can mix some vegatable or vada as sidedish with it. Also take a bite of cracker. 3. Next Rasam with rice(looks like spice water or soup). Take a bite of cracker or any side dish. You mixed rasam and curd and thats not how we eat 4. Next curd with rice (add salt to the curd rice and taste it) (While eating curd rice take a bite of dried chilli or sidedish or pickle(you asked them what is it. It was amla pickle) 5. Last sweet
