Later I visited the webpage of Sree Krishna sweets and I almost felt like a kid which was given a free entry into some theme park and enjoy all its rides happily the whole day.
The colourful images of all the sweets and savories brought in lots of fond memories from childhood!Some of the sweets reminded of specific relatives.
Eg:The theratipaal reminded me of my Thaatha and Paati who used to meticulously churn gallons and gallons of hot boiling milk in a huge irumbu Kachatti,in an attempt to make the wonderfully tasting therattipaal!Everytime,I used to feel cheated at the end of the ordeal,when all that volume of milk used to evaporate into thin air and what would remain was an unbelievably small quantity of the sweet!And then there would be a frantic fight among us cousins till the barrel was religiously scrapped for discovering even the last bit of therattipaal sticking in the recesses!
The Mysurpa reminded me of the funny incident of Amma trying a hand at it once and everything seeming to go great and fine until the hot molten mixture was poured into the stainless steel plate and letting it to cool for sometime to get a solid texture!The sweet turned so super solid in texture that the knife which was half buried in the mass of Mysurpa broke while we tried to pull it out for cutting.All my uncles and I made fun about using the hammer to break the mysurpa! :)
This Mysurpa from Grand sweets/Krishna Sweets has become some kind of a brand ambassador for both these establishments and almost certainly find a place in any Southie NRI's American Tourister suitcases enroute to the U.S.A!
Take a look at some of these breath-taking,mouth watering sweets...
Thats not really just a silly bunch of bananas!!Thats infact a meticulously shaped sweet!
If you thought you could get that Pattu Veshti or Saree at Nalli or Kumaran,you are totally wrong!Those are some of the catchy creations at Krishna Sweets.Never knew our makkal could get to such a level of creativity!
Kudos to our moms and paatis,who have been mastering the art of sweet making all through the years and finally heartfelt gratitude to the Grand/Krishna Sweets,who,I am sure would help in the sustenance of all our traditions ,particularly with our current generation terribly losing the interest and knowledge of cooking/making sweets!
