‘Manchatti’ aka The ‘clay pot’
.
In the past, special dishes—crafted with ingredients like meat, fish, and prawns—were reserved for festive occasions or the arrival of guests, creating a cherished atmosphere at home. In joint families, where food was carefully rationed, these meals held deep significance, especially for children, who eagerly awaited such moments. The kitchen, and the treasured recipes of mothers, became the heart of family gatherings, fostering memories that lingered for a lifetime. However, this beautiful tradition has faded over time. For food lovers around the world, delicacies from Restaurant ‘Chef Pillai’ have helped to revive this nostalgic experience, bringing these time honoured recipes back to the table with a fresh, contemporary touch. More than just a meal, what offered is a journey into the past—reigniting flavours, traditions, and
the joy of shared celebrations, allowing each one of us to relish not only the dish but also the sweet memories that come with it. Taking inspiration from this - ‘Manchatti’ is a
curated collection of 10 vibrant art pieces articulated on a half spherical light fixture that delicately showcases selected delicacies of Chef Pillai.
