Madurai Amma’s mess

Madurai’s famous Amma Mess has been dishing out a unique variety of non-vegetarian recipes An old friend once remarked that a visit to Madurai is incomplete without a bowl of Ayirai meen kozhambu (a gravy made of spined loaches) from Amma Mess. Even in typical Madurai-based movies, a shot of the restaurant is ritualistic in the title card. Such is the popularity of the 25-year-old mess and its ubiquitous menu, that they have become synonymous with the city’s food culture.

What’s new here? Idicha meen roast (very similar to sura puttu, fish boiled and smashed into tiny pieces and fried in a tawa with pepper) and idicha nattu kozhi roast After reading poet Vairamuthu’s Kallikattu Ithikaasam that talks about the life of people living in barren lands, Senthilvel introduced kallikattu kozhichaaru He introduced boneless crab omelette for the first time at the success of the film Sivaji to impress actor Rajinikanth
