Hungry kya?

My parents took me to this restaurant Cholayil in Nugambakkam, Chennai. It was very nice healthy food. We were served around 7 juices and were asked to drink them in a particular order. These juices are supposed to induce generation of the digestive enzymes. Then we were served raw vegetables followed by semi-cooked vegetables and then fully cooked ones.

Then we had brown rice with dhal and then white rice with the usual sambhar, rasam and buttermilk. The interesting thing is that none of the items had tamarind or any masala in them. Only pepper and salt was used in the preparation. Then came desert, you heard me desert! two payasams, one with sugar and the other with jaggery.

They have some branches in Chennai and are doing good business.. Not very expensive. Btw, if you are like me who drinks more water than eating food, you might find it a little difficult eating at Cholayil.. They don't serve water until the very end :)
