Edit: I’d just like to say that, as of July 17 2009, I’ve had 178 hits to this post. And not one person told me why they wanted to know. So, if you’re here to find out what celery is called in Tamil, please let me know what recipe it is that calls for it, and why you want to know. I’d really appreciate it. Thanks!
The page with the most hits on this blog is the Hindi-English-Tamil Glossary (link at the top under the banner). Where, if you’re in a hurry, you can go to find out what celery is called in Tamil. As you might know, this page is a collaborative effort. I put a few things up, and other people came on with questions and comments, and others with answers and more comments, and the page has just grown. When I set up the glossary, I didn’t think it would garner so much attention. It still surprises me. I set it up because I wanted people from both sides of my heritage – the Tamil ancestry and the Delhi adoption – to have access to all my recipes. The English names I have tried to put in both Indian English as well as American, although the recipes themselves are often in American English, for wider appeal.
But another top search term has made me curious. “Celery in Tamil” brings a lot of people to my website. Now, when I was in India, I didn’t eat celery at all. I know I saw it now and again in Sarojini Nagar, where we bought veggies, and which I sorely miss. But I never bought and ate it. In fact, I still rarely eat it, and much prefer it cooked than raw.
As I said, though, I’m curious. So If you were drawn here by your quest to find out what celery is called in Tamil (ajmoda, according to the GoI), could you please tell me why you want to know? What recipe are you using it in?
I hope to hear from some of you! Please leave a comment. Thanks!
Please tell the exact tamil word for celery
Hi Praveen
I wanted to know about Celery because Hillary referred that word when she is interacting with students link : http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/NEWS/India/A-Clinton-momentThe-naked-truth-about-Americans/articleshow/4799754.cms
Here she referred the word Celery to lose extra pounds she got due to non-restrictive food
Hey Sai, thanks for visiting, and a big thank you for letting me know why you wanted to know
guys what is the exact tamil word for celery? and is it available in bangalore,india?
Hey, The reason why most of the people wanted to know about Celery is following.. Njoy reading, stop talking and start seducing.
Celery
The benefit: Stop stalking, start seducing.
It’s stringy and tastes like crunchy water, but celery is the swizzle stick that can stir up your sex life. Every stalk of the stuff is packed with androstenone and androstenol, two pheromones that can help you attract women the way trailer parks attract tornadoes. (Don’t worry, these steroids are different from the steroid androstenedione.)
“When you chew a stalk of celery, you release androstenone and androstenol odor molecules into your mouth. They then travel up the back of your throat to your nose,” says Alan Hirsch, M.D., author of Scentsational Sex. “Once there, the pheromones boost your arousal, turning you on and causing your body to send off scents and signals that make you more desirable to women.”
Try it next time you’re in a bar. Grab the celery from your brother-in-law’s Bloody Mary and munch away. “The pheromones take effect immediately, so you should notice the women around you paying more attention to you right away,” says Dr. Hirsch.
And if you strike out? “Celery is a low-calorie, high-fiber food, so you can eat as much as you want and not regret it later,” says Ward.
Aarthi – it’s ajmoda, as the post says, or refer the glossary (tab at the top of the page).
Cannan – LOL
u people… still i cant get equivalent in tamil for celery. ajmoda is not at all a familiar tamil word nor a correct word.
Ram, someone else on the glossary suggested sivarikkeerai. I’m sorry I am not personally familiar with the Tamil term. Please go to the glossary tab above and click on it. That might be more helpful.
Going thru the process of losing extra fabs along with some yoga, one of the website suggested the role played by celery in reducing weight.
Thanks. I have to say, I have read about celery being a good thing to eat if you want to lose weight, but raw celery tastes yucky. At least, to me. My husband likes to eat it with peanut butter, but I think that is an American taste and I have not acquired it.

Re: Celery, though I have not found the tamil word, I leant that it is also related to Rhubab anad it supplies essential nutrients to othe bones. I am not sure about the recipe, but it is used with salad, it can also be eaten alon. Quite tasty as well.
