‘Relax restrictions’

15/05/2020, SPECIAL CORRESPONDENT,THOOTHUKUDI

Parotta shops, functioning as ‘Night Clubs’ in this coastal town that serve yummy parotta, prepared in a different style, urge the district administration to relax the restrictions.

Though parotta is a favourite dish everywhere in south Tamil Nadu, ‘Thoothukudi parotta’ is very special as it is fried in oil and served with meat prepared with local flavour. Those who leave Thoothukudi for work or some other reason would miss delicacy quite a lot as it is so tasty and affordable.

Though some people have come back to Thoothukudi in the wake of lockdown, they could not taste the parotta as these shops remained closed for nearly 40 days.

Now, they can buy parcels up to 9 p.m. Barring a few eateries that start the business at noon, most of them would start serving fried parotta from 6 p.m. which would go on up to 11 p.m. The stall owners urge the administration to allow them to serve the dish in their shops and till 11 p.m.
