[Sritharan how came you to the conclusion that Sri lankan Tamils have gastronomy and language influence from Kerala ??]
There are a few studies that concentrate on relationship between Sri Lankan Tamil and South Indians, which has included TamilNadu and Kerala. I guess that Northern and Eastern parts of Sri Lanka had been colonized by people from various parts of Tamilakam by times to times. Keralites were great mariners and they were the integral parts of any Tamil King`s navy. Sri Lanka could have received a chunk of population from Tamilakam West (Kerala/Chera country), Tamilakam East (Chola/Pandiya countries) and center. [Puttu:] A typical Kerala breakfast may be puttu. Puttu is a culinary specialty in Sri Lanka and Kerala. You can`t get puttu in TamilNadu. [Cocount and cocount oil:] Coconut and Coconut Oil is an essential ingredient in most of the food items and is liberally used. TamilNadu food lacks in cocount usage, specially in the milk form. [Vella Appam:] A kind of pancake made of rice flour fermented with a small amount of toddy (fermented sap of the coconut palm). TamilNadu does not make appam in this way. [Kuti/Kurichi system:] In Batticalo Kuti is found among all the major caste groups. It refers to the matrilineal clans system. Matrilineality is a system in which one belongs to one`s mother`s lineage. Kurichiyas of Kerala is based on matriline. We all can notice that in Northern part of Sri Lanka we use word `KURICHI` and Eastern part of Sri Lanka we call it `KUTI`. Both are same. In Jaffna (as I am familiar with it), married man goes to his wife house and he lives with his in-laws. The land and house which have been inherited to my mother and her sister (my aunt) came from my grad-mother and it came from her mother and so on. In TamilNadu, wife goes to husband house and lives with her in-laws. - Sri |
