Veerama’s affordable Indian fare has people queuing up

Amma Food Corner, a humble eatery in Seremban, has gained popularity for serving affordable Indian cuisine. Run by a mother-daughter duo, Veerama and Thanusha, the place specializes in authentic home-cooked dishes at low prices. Operating since 2021, the restaurant offers over 20 dishes to pair with rice, which can be enjoyed on-site or taken home.

Veerama, who began her culinary journey as a chef for 20 years until her son's accident, now manages the business to support her son's needs. Her daughter Thanusha handles the cash register. Breakfast items include poori, thosai, idli, chapati, nasi lemak, and mee hoon. Lunch items include curries, gravies, stir-fries, and a variety of vegetarian options.

Despite limited space, the restaurant can get crowded during peak hours. A popular meal costs just RM12, consisting of mutton peratal, pulicha keerai (sorrel leaves), sambar, and fried enoki mushrooms. The mutton peratal is rich and tender, while the pulicha keerai offers a comforting, homemade taste. The fried enoki mushrooms provide a salty, umami finish.

With its affordable prices, flavorful dishes, and generous portions, Amma Food Corner has become a local favorite.
