ஆரம்பம் முதல் இறுதி வரை நீங்கள் சொல்லித்தந்த விதம் அற்புதம். புதியதாக சமையல் கற்றுக் கொள்பவர்கள் கூட திறம்பட சமையலை செய்து முடிப்பர். நளபாகம் போங்க. 👍👌🙏🙏😊
My bachelor days life at Triplicane, Ratna Cafe was my tiffin outlet from 1978 to 1996... sambar idli was my regular intake... sambar was served in small buckets.. Thanks for the vdo.
Thanks. More than cooking i enjoyed your devotion to Ratna cafe Sambar.I have just returned from Madras to UK, and all seven days when i was there swam in the Swimming pool sambar of Ratna cafe for Iddy vada. Like you i grew up with Shanthi Vigar and Ratna cafe idly sambar. Ispire us with food related history of Madras
Correct sir. My father used to have breakfast in Ratna cafe triplicane during 1940's when he was at his 20's. Sambar is unlimited for 2 idilies where those days sambar used to fill their stomach (father used to tell they can afford money only for 1 or 2 idilies)
What you said is absolutely true. In olden days v used to go there with our kids. Infact bucket sambarnu kooda sollalaam😅. Athana dhatraalama sam ar koduppadhu ratna thavira veru engum illai. Hats off to this recepie and to Rathna Cafe 🎉🎉
You are absolutely right. I am at 52. I eat Ratna Sambar by 28 yrs. But I admire Saidapet vadacurry in Mari Hotel and Udupi Sambar which is more tastier than triplicane it is Gowri Nivas near Karaneeswarar kovil Saidapet.
I NEVER FORGET THE TASTE OF SAMBAR IDLY OF RATHNA CAFE. I USED TO GO FROM T.NAGAR TO TRIPLICANE ONLY FOR THE EXCLUSIVE TASTE & THEIR MOTTO TO SATISFY THE CUSTOMERS. THANKS FOR THE U TUBER SIR. V. RAMACHANDRAN.
Same here! Back in the 80s as a kid go every Sunday evening from Anna Nagar to Triplicane just for that jug sambar and idli and then head to the Beach! Memorable days with zero traffic…maximum 15 minutes by car. Imagine going now from Anna Nagar to Triplicane 😱 Miss my old Madras ! But now the taste is not that authentic as it was back then. I think after that master died way back the taste also disappeared 😢
Thank u so much for ur good efforts to bring in old memories of tasting the Rathna Cafe SAMBAR (prepared so well by u). Yes, 40 years back the taste of that sambar in Rathna Cafe was excellent, but today u cannot find someone preparing that kind of Sambar, of course in Kumbakonam, Trichy n in Tanjore u can find such quality the hotels. Thank u.
