Mega Star Mammootty is a ‘phenomenon’ whose glamour also increases with his age. A recent photo that came out the other day is itself proof of it. Long before his fans had started asking how he, who is 68 now, continued to maintain the gamour of forties.

Now, what the star’s cook says is that Mega star’s food restrictions is itself the secret behind his glamour. Mammootty’s personal cook Lenish has revealed this in an interview.

“Mammukka’s breakfast is Oats gruel plus pieces of Pappaya, egg white and ten badams kept soaked the previous day. For lunch, he doesn’t eat rice. Half puttu made of oats powder is the main food. Fish curry with coconut gratings is a must. He doesn’t take any fried items.

Among fish items, he likes Green chromide (Karimeen), Grey Mullet (Kanambu) and Flathead grey mullet (Thirutha) . He also likes small fishes and Kozhuva prepared using coconut paste. Yard long bean stir fry and Vegetable salad dressed with pepper powder are taken along with this.

In the evening, he won’t take much food but often drinks black tea. In the night he eats wheat or oats dosa but he won’t eat more than three dosas.
Along with dosa, he takes country (nadan) chicken curry without masala but added with coconut milk. If that is not available , chutney is enough for him. After that, he takes mushroom soup.

Anyhow, we have to take the food to the location. Whether he likes it or not, he’ll respond quickly,” says Lineesh, who has been with Mammootty since the film Thuruppu Gulan.
