everything combined - old cooking method , wood , coal fire ... expertise of reciepe beng followed since centurys ... locally sourced spices , viegies and everything .
and at last the environment you are consuming the food and at last touch of GOD (physchlogical) .
Temple food taste amazing
Try this.
Secret is fresh ingredients, very few spices, and fresh coconut.
Traditional recipes call for freshly ground spices every single day - they never use readymade 'masalas'.
The cooks have refined their skills for ages and have perfected the right combinations
Also as devotees most of us are hungry by the time of the meal and almost anything tastes good for a hungry tongue.
What you have is a perfect combination - good food cooked by great cooks, served piping hot for the hungry devotees who are on a psychological high after darshan.
I've been to lots of temples and mutts in the southern states and never ever have I tasted mediocre food.
Would love to do the same in the North if I get an opportunity - especially a chance to be in a langar in one of the famous gurudwaras
I don't think most of us have the patience or skill to grind spices naturally to that level of perfection. The goal is to achieve the closest possible result using the best ready-made spices available.
Satvikk and pure Hand ground masalas and chutneys can be the reason , Quality ingredients and Cooking devotionally .
Try Puliogare at Melukuta mess at Mandya Temple, Mandya , Karnataka near Bangalore
They used to be better even a decade back. The taste is actually going down with time.
Even now I go to temple and have prasada food once every few months because there is something different about it which no restaurant can ever come close to.
It's God magic buddy u can't get same taste elsewhere
Try Suhana Sambhar Masala
You need satvik food dude. It's so easy to make at home...what you ate there?
