Dear Renu Ramnath,

I must congratulate you for this wonderful post brilliantly portraying the travails of the members of a "marumakkathayam" family of yore. Edassery's soul will bless you for introducing this story to a wider public who have not read the original or who are not adept in malayalam.

I also noticed that your "tastes" are refined both figuratively and metaphorically!

Congratulations!

I am amazed that such a unique system like marumakkathayam was in vogue in Kerala of those bygone days.

Can you enlighten me as to how it actually worked on the ground....for instance how were the sambandams contracted and how conflict and rivalry was avoided between the different males.

Are there any scholarly work on this subject published and available now?

A very touching tale. Most of the Malayalam short stories and novels portray the life of Kerala best. I love eating pazhamporis and I have mostly eaten it in the Mangala Lakshadweep Express. Anyway, I would really appreciate if you could send me the recipe on akshay3019@gmail.com

nice blog.but being a malayalee ,I found it tough to understand various "english" ,"Hindi" names of various spices,vegitables,curry powders etc.
For eg: "dhania" powder.
It will be very useful ,if you ladies collect the meaning in malayalam for this things especially those from hindi name.

Thanks

Hello Renu,

I loved your narration of edassery' beautiful story. Do you know if Edassery has written any other stories? Also, is it part of any compilation of stories book? I cannot get hold of malayalam magazines where I live but I would love to read such stories.

Regards

Enjoyed reading your eloquent rendition of the story, Renu. As well as the commentary it came with. It reminded me of another story, different theme - if I remember right, it's a short story by K R Usha, and it's about how a mother/grandmother makes a whole batch of holiges (poli) for the family, but can only get hold of a few crumbs at the end of the day, and is greatly embarrassed when she's caught in the act - so typical of many homes where kids and others come first and the woman of the house often misses out on the choice stuff, if not the food itself!

2007-12-25T06:24:00.000-08:00

it is indeed a touching tale. Most of these tales do portray the life and times of yesteryears, much like malayalam cinema. reading such stories does indeed forces us to think beyond the actual words...
speaking of Pazhampori, i have heard that vendors of Shoranur railway station churns out the best mouthwatering hot, crisp pazhamporis in the state!
though i live so near, i never had the opportunity to try those.
while i was at college, a 'kalpathy maami' used to sell them along with a lot other snacks like parippu vada, bonda, etc. that was also very tasty.
