their first customer i got to see the kitchen and how the dish was made says ponappa his hobby he says has helped him establish relationships with small eatery owners i have their numbers and on days i feel like eating their food i just have to call them and they keep the food aside for me i dont mind driving the distance he says temple food is another thing that gets ponappa behind the wheels when im visiting a temple with my family i plan it in such a way that we reach in time for lunch thats served in these temples food served here is vegetarian but what i like about temple food is the fact that its made using local ingredients sringeri dharmasthala mrityunjaya temple in coorg and melukote sri cheluvanarayana swamy temple according to ponappa serve very good prasadam
