Here's why:
* Hucchu ellu literally means "roasted sesame seeds" in Kannada.
* Sesame seeds are known as ellu in Tamil, which translates to "til" in English.
* The "hucchu" part refers to the roasting process, which is not explicitly mentioned in either English or Tamil.
Therefore, "hucchu ellu" would be translated as "roasted sesame seeds" in English and "nirai ellu" (meaning "roasted ellu") in Tamil.
However, "hucchu ellu" has a specific usage in Kannada cuisine, typically referring to sesame seeds roasted until they become aromatic and slightly crunchy. This specific flavor profile might not be fully captured in the direct translations.
