How many of you like them and what is your traditional food item?
For Clara, it is metai and chalimidi. Well she likes Manchuria too.
As for me, anything sweet is good.
What about you guys?
 
Dosa, Paneer and Gobi items, and chaat items like Pani Puri, Dahi Papdi, and sweets like Jangri and Gulab Jamun and a few varieties of Sambar and Rasam.

Jangri and jilebi are similar.
What about jjikebi? I like it with sugar but I don't like the jaggery one.

They only look similar. Their tastes are pretty different. I never liked Jalebi. Maybe it's because I never ate a good one but it was never for me.

I see. Well there are two types based on the sweetener usage like jaggery or sugar.
I never liked the jaggery type. I do like bajji too :D

I eat it like once in a blue moon since it's a very oil heavy item, and I don't eat them a lot since they make me giddy. It's just that I lived in North India for a few years when I was a toddler and I never liked Jalebi even when I was in that age.

Well, that is the case and I wouldn't call that oily but rather that is pakam(sugar)
I didn't know that you used to live in North India. Over there they take roti most of the time

No No I was talking about Bajji in the first sentence. Bajji is an oily item.
I know I eat that a lot here too.
 


I see. Anyway, Telugu is not all that different from Tamil so more often than not we may end up having common words.
Yeah there are lots of Bajji shops here.
 
i don't recognize any of the varieties that you keep discussing here. i didn't know there were that many sweets with weird names like that too.

I really didn't expect that at all. The writings are completely different and it's ....I don't get half of the things when I Converse with my Tamil friend. That's great. There are various types in bajji too. I prefer Mirchi bajji.

Obviously there are differences and the script is completely different, yes but they both belong to the same language family.

I agree but I was able to read kannada but not Tamil. I mentioned this to someone before. I am not so sure to whom, as of now.
Indeed they are close to Sanskrit in everyway.

I've heard this food can really be spicy and I'm not one for hot food so I've never really tried it.

I've studied Tamil and Sanskrit for 5 years and they are really really different.
And as I mentioned the scripts are incredibly different between Tamil abd Telugu so I can't read Telugu either.

I see. What do you say pootarekulu in Tamil? It's a very sweet dish and no one can eat a large quantity. It's famous around here

I searched about it and it seems like a dish that's native to Andhra, so there isn't any Tamil word for it.
