How chicory came to be added to coffee
While the dark-roasted coffee beans are the stars of South Indian filter coffee, the often-overlooked and even maligned sidekick, chicory, plays a crucial role. Some even believe that it is the quiet soul of filter coffee! Chicory's relationship with coffee began with wars, economic depressions and bans that led to a coffee shortage. The Europeans, who were familiar with chicory's flavours, noticed its similarities with coffee and began mixing the two. The blend was not only economical but also surprisingly delicious, and people developed a lasting taste for it. What started as a necessity soon became a preference. In South India, coffee was grown locally since its arrival in the 1600s. But it was not drunk by Indians until the turn of the 20th century. Chicory made its way to India through the British Army's 'Camp Coffee'. Indian soldiers and civilians developed a taste for it, and roasters began to produce a significantly cheaper blend of coffee and chicory. Aided by the affordability and taste, when brewed in a traditional metal filter and served with hot milk and sugar, its popularity in Chennai and surrounding areas exploded. Soon, all but the poorest were drinking it. Unfortunately, chicory is perceived as an adulterant, especially by coffee connoisseurs. Initially all Indian filter coffee had European-imported chicory. In the late 1950s, cultivation was tried in the south but the output was poor. But it picked up in U.P. and Gujarat due to suitable climate and soil. Today, these states account for 90% of India's chicory production. Upto 10 times cheaper than coffee, chicory blend in filter coffee can range from 10% to 40%. Here's the best part: while filter coffee is 'South Indian', the chicory root from U.P. and Gujarat makes it a truly national drink. Secret Hero Chicory (Cichorium intybus) is a hardy leafy vegetable. The edible leaves have a bitter flavour and are used in salads, paired with cheeses, nuts, and fruits and also lend themselves to sautéed and roasted preparations. The plant is native to Africa, Asia, and Europe. It has beautiful blue flowers and a thick taproot that — when dried, roasted, and brewed — creates a drink with notes of chocolate, nuts, and caramel. It is caffeine-free and also substituted for coffee altogether. The Egyptians cultivated it as early as 5000 years ago as a medicinal plant, and the ancient Greeks and Romans used it as a vegetable and in salads. The Europeans consumed its brew for its supposed medicinal benefits. An extract from the root is used as a sweetener in food manufacturing.

World Elephant Day 2025: Looking out for the gentle giants
Every year, August 12 is observed as World Elephant Day to bring the spotlight on protecting one of the most magnificent animals to walk the earth. This year, Coimbatore played host to the celebrations organised by the Ministry of Environment, Forest and Climate Change (MoEF&CC), in collaboration with the Tamil Nadu Forest Department. With mitigating human-elephant conflict at the centre of the celebrations, the event brought together top officials from the MoEF&CC, the Forest Department, frontline staff who work tirelessly in the field, and mahouts who care for elephants. Here are some highlights from the event. Honouring unsung heroes Gaj Gaurav Awards were instituted to seven field staff and mahouts from across India in recognition of their work in elephant conservation. S Karthikeyan, Forest Guard and M Murali Anti-Poaching Watcher, both from Dharmapuri Circle, were the awardees from Tamil Nadu. Thirty-four-year-old Murali has been actively involved in risky elephant rescue operations across Forest Circles, while Karthikeyan was honoured for patrols along areas of man-elephant conflict to monitor animal movement. In April this year, he rescued injured elephants at the Cauvery North Wildlife Sanctuary. 'Elephants entering human habitation tend to fall into open wells when agitated, especially at night when they try to raid crops,' says 32-year-old Karthikeyan. He has observed this up close in villages on the fringes of forests in Hosur. 'Some people light firecrackers to chase elephants that venture into their fields,' he says, adding: 'There are several open, abandoned wells in the region, and the animals get hurt when they slip and fall.' He recalls the recent rescue of one such elephant by his team of ten. 'I urge people living near forests to enclose wells with walls for the sake of elephants,' he says. With love, from Gudalur Gudalur-based socio-environmental enterprise The Real Elephant Collective, known for crafting life-size elephants made of lantana, had displayed a handful of elephants constructed by tribal people from villages in and around Gudalur in the Nilgiri hills. But what stood apart was a small collection of animal and bird miniatures, done with impeccable attention to detail. 'We have 16 pieces as part of the collection, including five birds, eight animals, and trees and bushes,' says Tariq Thekaekara from the Collective. They have been sculpted by hand with wood from Senna Spectabilis, an invasive plant that poses a major threat to the Nilgiri biosphere, removed with support from the Forest Department. While the team's lantana elephants have travelled the world — they have been displayed in the UK, US, apart from several cities in India — they now want to carve birds and animals that are not as popular. These include the Nilgiri tahr, Nilgiri marten, spotted deer, jungle fowl, Indian giant squirrel, hornbill, among others. Hand-carved by tribal women using simple tools, these are animals and birds the people grew up seeing. The miniatures will initially be available for sale in all the Forest Department eco shops in the Nilgiris, Mudumalai, Bandipur and Wayanad, and can also be purchased online soon. While the women are now working from the Collective's office in Gudalur, they will eventually have the freedom to make the figurines from home. For enquiries, email info@ Elephant tales Kirti Vardhan Singh, Union Minister of State for Environment, Forest and Climate Change, released An Ancient Bond: The Elephant Whisperers of Mudumalai, a coffee table book by Tarsh Thekaekara featuring photos of elephants and their mahouts, and the children's book The Lost Elephant and the Soul Tree published by Westland's Red Panda. Suitable for children aged eight to 12, The Lost Elephant and the Soul Tree was inspired by the author's reportage across elephant camps in the Western Ghats. Little Girl, LG for short, a mischievous elephant calf gets separated from her herd when they cross a tea plantation. She ends up in an elephant camp in the forest for abandoned and problematic elephants, and must summon every ounce of courage to find her way back home. Her only hope is the Soul Tree, a living, breathing portal into faraway landscapes. With the help of two feisty old elephants and a fierce tusker with a tender heart, she sets out to find it on a full-moon night, braving dark jungles and predators on the lurk. The story will take readers into the workings of an elephant herd, introducing issues such as disappearing forests, man-animal conflict, and elephant behaviour. Set in the dense sholas of Tamil Nadu, it has magic and adventure, and is an ode to the many steely elephant matriarchs who would die to protect their herd. Available at book stores and online.
