意味
Stating that the food is not spicy.
文化的背景
Spice levels are a point of pride. If you say 'Kāram kuṟaivu' to a cook from Madurai, they might be slightly offended as they value 'virippu' (boldness) in food. They use the word 'Uṟaippu' instead of 'Kāram'. 'Uṟaippu kuṟaivu' is the standard phrase in Jaffna. Traditional 'Sattvic' meals are naturally 'Kāram kuṟaivu' as they avoid excessive chili to maintain a calm mind. With the rise of lifestyle diseases, 'Kāram kuṟaivu' is now a health-conscious choice, not just a taste preference.
The 'Kammi' Shortcut
If you forget 'kuṟaivu', just say 'kammi'. Everyone in Tamil Nadu uses it!
Relative Terms
Remember that 'less spicy' in a Tamil home might still be 'very spicy' for a European palate!

Polite Feedback
Always follow 'Kāram kuṟaivu' with 'Nallā irukku' (It's good) so the cook doesn't feel bad.
