A little box of spices uncovered
Distinctive due to a local ingredient
Fresh, grated coconut, coriander seeds,
Roasted to perfection, flavors gradually permeating
The genesis of lunch
Lentil and tamarind mixed gravy
Vegetables in abundance
The podi differs across regions and households
Tempered with fresh curry leaves
A bliss with steaming fluffy rice
Sambaar an elixir so comforting.
