Adisil is an ancient Tamil classical word that is unused at present. Adisil means "Cooked Rice" or "Cooked Food". ​ I am not a food blogger but a foodie interested in preparing food and serving people. I was forced to start this blog to share the recipes for 'Release Biryani' & 'Goat liver fry'. Many of my friends love those. Big thanks to my wife (Ph.D scholar in Tamil Literature), who gave this blog the unique title 'Adisil' (picked from a poem from Sangam days).

In Sangam Period, Biryani was referred as 'Oon Thuvai Adisil'

'Oon Thuvai Adisil' - "Oon" refers to meat, "thuvai" is a blend, and "Adisil" is a cooked meal.

The word 'biryani' came into usage at a later date. They mention that when the Timur came to India in 1398, the food of Biryani came to India. But Biryani food was eaten by Tamils ​​and others during the Sangam period.
