It will also help to maintain a proper immune system. Tasty food will treat the taste buds and good food is considered to be a joy forever. Biriyani is supposed to be the most delicious non vegetarian food item. It is the most sought after dish among the foodies. Though, the dish has its origin from the Mughals, it has been prepared and served across the world under different flavours. Although there are many restaurants serving Biriyani, Dindigul Thalapakatti brand has attained widespread popularity across the globe. The sixty four year old restaurant chain was started as a small outlet in Dindigul in Tamilnadu by Mr.Nagasamy Naidu under the name Anandha Vilas Biriyani Hotel. The founder used to wear a turban called “Thalapa” which became synonymous with his brand and cooking style by earning him a nick name “Thalappakatti Naidu” which eventually became the name of their brand. This paper attempts to reconnoiter the journey of Dindigul Thalalpakatti in spicing up with the changing times.
