Travel Diary : Nagerkoil Trip May 2012 - (4) - Food in Nagerkoil:

The travel diary will not be complete if I do not write about the food I had in Nagerkoil. I came to know about some of the dishes that are unique to this place like Paniyaram, Avaiyal, Aaapam and some more, the names I do not remember. Actually these are the food items of Ancient South India and it was a surprise that these items are still made and had by people here. In my earlier trips, I had all these items, but since the primary  purpose of this trip was to attend a marriage, I didn't get a chance to have those food items. Nonetheless, I had many tasty items this time, some of which are here for your view.

On the first day morning, Mama bought breakfast from the famous Udipi International.

Nongu Sarbath. It is actually Sarbath in which Nongus are dropped even without their outer cover peeled off. The Sarbath & Nongu tastes good invidually, but when they are mixed like this, it finally ends up in a Mokkai mixture called the Nongu Sarbath. Refrain from taking it. When I first heard of Nongu Sarbath, I thought Nongu will be ground and the paste will be mixed in Sarbath.
