    Lunch menu 3 - South Indian lunch menu

    May 4, 2013 by Raks Anand 17 Comments /

    This week’s Lunch Menu is also a Simple South Indian menu, with Keerai sambar and Potato curry. This post is part of my lunch menu series where I share just menu with it's recipe links. Please refer links for individual recipes.

    simple south Indian lunch
    Sambar is everyday main course most of the days in our house

    Keerai Sambar is thick and bit on milder side. So Potato curry will be a perfect combination for it. Spicy and wholesome!

    More over, this is my kid Aj’s favorite. He likes keerai/ Indian spinach a lot. So always make it once a week.
     
    You can use any keerai like mulai keerai/ arai keera/ siru keerai or even drumstick leaves (murunga keerai), agathi keerai or even Vendhya keerai/ methi leaves to prepare same as this keerai sambar. Only the cooking time varies.

    Here is the potato curry recipe link.

      I planned to do a different poriyal on saturday, but the potato curry tempted me so much that it made me to prepare sambar with the fry. Nothing can beat this combo..

      Is this the first time that you have put up your picture?? Well, after reading every one of your posts and re-reading and re-reading them, ( not for the recipe, but for the sheer neatness and presentation!! ), I am seeing your face for the first time.

      And strangely, you "fit" the picture in my head... Am a Tamil-Telugu mix, who celebrates every festival, and loves North Indian / Indo-Chinese cooking too.. So am familiar to most of your recipes.. Just come here looking for the "Raks' twist" to the usual recipes...:) And of course, drool over the pics...:)

      Lovely combo Rajeswari. Thank you so much for sharing this. Although when I tried this out I may have added a little too much Tamarind in my Keerai Sambar and for some reason my Urad Dhal was overly tempered in the potato curry. Is there something you could advise me on this or can I omit the Urad in future? Will this significantly change the taste to dish?

      You can omit no problem 🙂 Once mustard splutters, put the flame to low and add urad dal with constant stirring. Keep the curry leaves or onion ready to add so that you can add immediately as it turns golden.
