I am only familiar with a small part of the Prabandham, but even there, there are some dishes mentioned. Andal promises Azhagar at thirumaaliruncholai that she will fill 100 pots full of akkaara-vadisil. I know that akaara-vadisil is milk-based, but I have only eaten it a handful of times (quite yummy!) so I don't know what's in it. Also, Periyaazhvaar in yashoda-bhaava tells kaNNan that appamkalandha siRRuNdi akkaarampaalilkalandhu soppadan^aan_suttuvaiththEn thinnaluRidhiyEln^ambee! She has prepared appam, siRRuNdi, akkaaram with milk and other things ready for him to eat. Many of these dishes are still made on Sri Jayanthi in orthodox households. I leave it for the real chefs to actually give uss recipes! Mani
