In this episode, we explore the vibrant food culture of Dindigul with our local hosts Jaisurya, Akilan, and Shiva. Known for its everyday eateries, old sweet shops, and deeply rooted food traditions, Dindigul offers a fascinating glimpse into Tamil Nadu’s regional food landscape beyond the usual tourist trails.

Our journey begins at Meenakshi Bhavan, a beloved local breakfast spot known for its soft idlis and crisp rava dosa. Each dish is served with a variety of house-made chutneys and sambar, showcasing the subtle differences in flavour profiles that locals cherish. We also taste Tirunelveli halwa, tender coconut halwa, and karupatti halwa, each with its own texture and sweetness.

From there, we stop at Shri Kamatchi Tiffin Center to try their ghee roast, rich kuruma, spicy nenju curry, and chops. This place is popular for its hearty tiffin and meat dishes that reflect the region’s love for bold, comforting flavours.

At Sri Jilebi Krishnaiyer Sweet Stall, we sample their famous small jalebis, thin, crisp on the outside, juicy inside, and a favourite among locals for generations.

The tour continues to Sanarpatti SKR Mutta Paya Kadai, where we taste mutta paya, a unique combination of boiled eggs simmered in a white peas-based curry, a dish that is both rustic and deeply satisfying.

We then visit Shri Mappillai Vinayagar Soda Company, a fourth-generation family-run spot known for its traditional sodas. We try their paneer and rose soda, refreshing drinks that have been a part of local life for decades.

At Alwar Sweets, we sample their special urulai kilangu masal, a lightly spiced potato preparation. Paired with crunchy namkeen, it becomes a simple yet addictive snack.

Geetha Nala Laddoo is a tiny, home-run sweet shop operated by a lady from her own house. Here, we taste her laddoos and halwa, handmade, nostalgic, and full of character.

Towards the end, we visit a Set Parotta Kadai to enjoy set parotta with kuruma, served humbly on banana leaves, an everyday comfort meal for many in Dindigul. The journey wraps up with chai and paan, the perfect way to wind down after a long day of eating and exploring.

this journey was a deep dive into Dindigul’s streets, its people, and its everyday food rhythms, where tradition quietly continues on every plate.
