Seer varisai and the Kongu wedding

A Kongu wedding is not complete without seer varisai, the trays of fruit, sweets and dry fruits that one family carries to the other. The trays look best when the nuts are large and the dates glossy, which is why Jumbo Cashew (Kaju) and Kalmi / Safawi Dates are popular choices for them. Pack them in clear boxes so the elders can see what is inside, as is the custom.

Pongal, Karthigai and sesame sweets

Thai Pongal in Erode means sakkarai pongal stirred in a new pot, topped with fried cashew, raisins and a pinch of elakkai (cardamom). For that, the long golden Kishmis / Kishmish (Lambi Dakh) and our Cardamom (Elaichi) Green & Super do the job. A few weeks earlier, Karthigai Deepam brings ellu urundai, the jaggery and sesame balls rolled by the dozen while the lamps are lit; Safed Tilly (White Sesame Seeds) is the sesame to use. Kongu cooks who pound their own milagu (pepper) for rasam can also pick up Black Pepper (Kali Mirch) with the same order.

Dry heat on the Kaveri bank

Erode summers are long and dry, and the town sits on the plain where hot winds blow through May. Nuts and seeds lose their crispness in that heat, and sesame can go bitter if it sits in a warm tin. Store sesame and cashew in small airtight jars, keep dates in the fridge once opened, and never scoop with a wet spoon. A family that buys turmeric fresh from the Erode market each season already knows the rule: smaller batches, used quickly, taste better.
