Cholayil Sanjeevanam, Adyar – Great Satvik food experience

Went to Cholayil Sanjeevanam, a good Vegetarian Restaurant in Adyar (http://www.cholayilsanjeevanam.com/health_res.htm) during the weekend. Have gone there a couple of times earlier and have liked their approach, cleanliness and food.

They offer a Satvik Vegetarial Meal (Rajakeeyam) which consists of different series of juices, vegetables and food to tingle the taste buds, enable good digestion etc.

The first set is a set of 5 juices in shot glasses (date juice, Nuts & Milk, Vegetable juice, mint buttermilk, rice bran kanji)
Then comes a set of 4 uncooked vegetables
Followed by a set of 4 semi cooked vegetables
Finally, you get to the fully cooked items.
Brown rice is served with Dhal which is followed by a choice of brown or white rice with sambar, morkozhambu and rasam.
A spoon of honey to aid digestion
A nice Payasam for Desert
And a Paan that is made of carrot and other vegetables.

Here is a picture of the meal
From Citi Notes


Overall, there is no oil or fried stuff and seasoning. The food is kerala style and even after these many items, you feel filled by not too stuffed or heavy.

Note of caution: There is little spice (I did not see any chilli or chilli powder in any dish) and the food is kerala style. One or two of my friends have not found that to their liking.

But, if you are game for a tasty, vegetarian meal cooked based on healthy principles and if you are open for a new experience, this is the place to go.

The lunch is priced @150+ taxes and comes to around Rs. 175/-

Anyone tried this ?
