Thanjavur, famous as the cultural capital of Tamil Nadu, is a melting pot of history, architecture and myriad flavors. There is a plethora of choices for culinary explorers too, including typical Tamil fare like adai and vada-curry, coexisting with Maratha-inspired dishes like poli and kothamalli mutton sukka. Since kokum wasn’t available in Thanjavur, the chef used tamarind as a souring agent, and added readily available vegetables like drumstick, to create this dish, which has now become synonymous with South Indian cuisine.
