Tamil Tv Show Suvai Payanam

Suvai Payanam is a Tamil serial which is aired on Makkal TV. It is a cooking show where the host, ‘Lenin’, discovered great restaurants around Tamil Nadu. He tries to understand the dishes which are on offer at the place, and the reason behind it being given that particular name. It is not just restaurants he visits, he also visits families whose members have a special dish which is liked by most people. On episodes where he visits the homemakers, he interviews the whole family.

With half an hour of screen time allotted for the serial, Lenin is quick about his work and quickly gets the whole family involved in it. He gets the grandfather, father, mother, grandmother and any other person in the house, to the living room. Everyone is seated on the sofa and the dish is put in front of them. The host starts with the eldest member. Slowly, he takes everyone's opinion on the dish. He talks to the cook about how she got into this dish. The food on the show is not a copy of the dish created by a famous chef, but rather, it is an original dish which has the potential to be popular.

The secret behind the delicacy is revealed. They go out into the verandah where a mini kitchen has been set up. The maker of the dish talks about various things. The stove along with the cylinder have been set up neatly. The necessary tools have been arranged on the table. The spices required have also been put into plastic containers. While the food is prepared, Lenin keeps talking to his host about her life or the delicacy. Each step taken by her is first explained, as to why it is needed to do it. After the dish is prepared, the whole family sits down and has a taste of it.

Like this, he tours all around the state. He goes into restaurants on the highway and talks with the chefs at the place about the dish. The show has been shot at big cities, small towns, villages and also at roads. All kinds of delicacies are shown on the serial. Other than the food on display, the lives of people are narrated in the serial. Every dish is a result of the chef's emotion, and the show tries to unearth that emotion. Over two hundred Suvai Payanam episodes have been aired on Makkal TV. The literal translation of the name of the show is Travelling Gourmet.
