So, it's "Atho" i had this tonight 😋
It's a famous street food in our in TN. but It came to Tamil Nadu through Tamil migrants who lived in Burma (Myanmar) and returned decades ago, bringing the recipe with them.
What It Tastes: 😋
Bright orange noodles (often tossed in garlic oil)
Shredded cabbage, onions, coriander
Tamarind juice, lime juice, chilli powder for zing
Crispy bits like fried onions or bejo (a crunchy puff) on top
Sometimes served with a hot side soup poured around or over it
Street variations include egg atho, chicken atho or prawn atho too 🍤🍗 — so you get both veg & non-veg choices.
🤗💜✨
What’s in the background??
@Paliloveyourself

Kaju katli:
Kaju katli is a legendary Indian sweet—thin diamond-shaped slabs made from ground cashews, sugar syrup, and a little ghee. No flour, no nonsense. It’s smooth, slightly chewy, rich without being heavy, and often wrapped in that shiny edible silver leaf (varak) that makes it look like luxury merchandise straight off a dessert runway
In the Indian sweets portfolio, kaju katli is considered premium—light on the stomach, clean flavor profile, and universally acceptable even to people who pretend they “don’t like sweets.
Thatss myy favv 😍😋
THAT’S SO PRETTY!! <3
Of course... taste so great too 😋🤤
I love samosas! Especially with chutney! I've had them from the frozen section of the grocery store.

Samosa! 😋
It’s a famous snack here. I only like it with red chutney—nothing else hits the same. 😋
By the way, what do you mean by ‘frozen section’? 😮
Freshly made samosas are unbeatable. Once they’re preserved or stored, the taste drops for real, at least in my experience. 🤔
We have Indian food in the freezer section of our grocery stores. That’s sometimes the only Indian food exposure we might have. We need more Indian food here hehe
@jesusredeemedme2425 although I am not from India, but I love South Indian dishes. The food is great
@plushPalm56
Girlyyyy.... I'm a south indian...!! 😍🤗
Isn't it??? South Indian food Hits different. 😊
Ooo, I am north Indian and haven't really tried South Indian dishes. Do you have any suggestions? 😃
@Paliloveyourself 🤗💐
Aww....!!😍 North Indian hereee.... Welcomeee paliii 😃✨
Genuinely I'm so interested in north foods, there is a plenty of varieties there. 🤗
Of course I'll suggest you...! 😃 like many of them, but what u prefer? sweet or the spicy one? 😋
For now i suggest u to try : "Semiya"(vermicelli) it can be cooked both sweet and hot. 🤗
It can be non veg /veg ✨ It's tastes amazing when it made up with "chicken" and "prawns". but it mostly made with Egg.🥚
Usually Severed in breakfast..!!
It's a veg semiya... 🤗
And this sweet... can be cooked in different way's when it's sweet 😍😋
The white one is known as " payasam" and the red one "Kesari" 🤗✨
It taste heavenly when it's from my mom... especially "chicken semiya" i go crazy for it. 😋✨
You can suggest me feww too, i love both sweet and hot. morely spicy one 😊✨
Oh! I think I've ate the white one before! My family has always called the white one semiya. I'm not sure if that is the right name for it though since they seem to mix up a lot of names but, that might be because we're from Fiji and maybe things are different there. (My family was born in Fiji and a lot of names confuse me lol)
Thank you for informing me 😊 I love learning about different types of food!
@Paliloveyourself
Ohh 😮...! Fiji? i thought ur from india...! 😮
Yeah, yeah.. like it's semiya... but name can be changed with few ingredients difference... in gujarat it know as "Kheer" but they use "Rava" instead of vermicelli.
You can ask me anything... i really love to connect with people's and learn abt culture. 😁
What's ur fav Indian food?
Oh, yeah whoops. Indo-Fijian, my mom's side is Fiji (she's fully Indian just diaphora) and my Dad's side is Punjabi/Haryana.
My family calls the one with rice kheer and the one in the picture semiya.
It's so cool to hear about your side of Indian culture 😁
My favorite Indian food has to be Bhindi (okra) I could eat it everyday if I really wanted to. What's yours?
@Paliloveyourself
Ohhh 😮 indo- finjian... sounds cool..!!😁 hey -like i really love punjabi u know! like especially the dance and dress... 😍
Yeah, like there is lot of names as we got plenty of launguages in India 😊💞.
What's Bhindi ?? 😵 I've no Idea.... fr!😅
Like I'm not big Eater 😲... often i skip meal's throughout the day 😂...! I'm not interested in eating but more interesting dishes 😅.
Mine would be... all sweet one..!! like do u know abt festival "Pongal" in TN, there is food known "Pongal" which is specially made on the day of Pongal festival.
it's a sweet one... i reallyyyy love it but my appetite scream out loud : Nooooooo.....!!😂😂
And there is food called "Atho" (Origin-Barma) but famous in TN, especially in Chennai City. it's a famous "Street Food" here. 😊💞
I really enjoy it. 😊
You're so sweet! Yes, I've heard about Pongal before, isn't that the harvest festival? Ooo Atho looks very yummy!
@Paliloveyourself
Aww...!! Thank you 🤗💐
Yeahh...!! coming 15 to 17 this month PONGAL will be celebrate i guess. 🤔
Though I'm not sure, as I'm a muslim girl. 😄
@Paliloveyourself what's your favourite North Indian dish?
I love Bhindi! What's yours?
@Ailuraphilelove8tear9 omg I love South Indian food. My recent favourite is Thatte Idli with Molaga Podi. I am also a fan of Idiyappam. How about you?
@trueconfidant123
Aww...!! is that??😍
Tbh... a hard pass when it's idli, i feel it's taste less xD But Molaga Podi Hits different with DOSA 😍 Have u ever tried it before?? 😃✨
I love idiyappam tooo 😊. it's so delicious with coconut milk and brown sugar. 💗 it mostly served with mutton soup around most of the restaurant but with coconut milk in house's. 😊✨
It's a Kerala food BTW, have you ever tried "PUTTU" ?? it's from Kerala, served with sugar or any Currys, i only prefer PUTTU in first place when i was there in Kerala. 😅
I personally love South indian style MACARONI. Especially when from my mom.😍
I'm gonna have it for breakfast. 🤗
@Ailuraphilelove8tear9
Oh no, you're making me drool. I had Lapsi for breakfast this morning. I haven't tried Puttu. What's that?
But I've tried Benne Dosa, which essentially looked like dosa sprinkled with Molaga Podi. It tasted yum but I liked the Thatte Idli combination with the ghee podi better.
What's a South Indian style Macaroni? Can you share pics please? 🥺
