List of Indian lunch menu ideas, choose from more than 60 menu ideas with recipes links and tips to prepare the lunch.
The most head breaking question every household encounters is what's the menu for lunch. If we know the menu, it's really 50% relief and easily finish the work.
I at times get inspiration from my own menu list below as it is curated for my own family too. When I get bored of south Indian lunch, I go for the north Indian menu and it really helps me do cooking without getting bored.
Sometimes, the same routine is what makes us dread or tired. A simple paratha and a subji or raita with pickle is heaven in plate for me. At times a rasam and poriyal or kootu is comforting.
Each menu have some notes on how I prepare and plan the menu along with respective recipe links. Please do check it out.
