* Chakiri: This refers to a person who works in a government job, especially someone in a low-ranking position.
* Choru: This means "rice," a staple food in Kerala.
Therefore, Chakirichoru literally means "rice of a government employee."
However, the term is used figuratively and carries a connotation of simple, everyday food, often associated with modest living. It's not necessarily meant to be derogatory but reflects a certain lifestyle.
