    Everyday south Indian food - Lunch menu 8

    June 30, 2013 by Raks Anand 7 Comments /

    Everyday south Indian food - This post is part of my Lunch menu series I share weekly. Just to share some meal ideas to decide when you are in doubt what to cook.

    Everyday south Indian food.

    This is also one of the meal I cooked when I was in Chennai. So please excuse the Picture and presentation quality ๐Ÿ™‚ We were just planning for a south Indian meal, while some guests came, so we added on a fried rice.

    Just 3 days before the wedding, so we wanted to empty the fridge ๐Ÿ˜‰ ย I was supposed to post it yesterday, but posting it late today, sorry about that!

    Though I have named it everyday south Indian lunch, this is quite elaborate meal yet all are simple recipes. Hope that justifies the post title.

    Home cooked meals, south Indian

    Ours is a big family. We are family of 8 adults and the kids. So If we all are together, we make a bit elaborate menu as one vegetable side dish or one sambar won't be enough for all.

    So there will be sure podi or thogayal, 2 vegetables and sambar definitely. This is one such day where a typical south Indian food happened. Except for the fried rice, this has all simple dishes that we can make in everyday basis (not special items like vadai payasam)

    I have not shared anything on how I prepared for this lunch because it has been a crazy day and did not actually plan and cooked continuously . So did not want to write my imaginary preparation, haha.

    That day, we had the following for lunch :

    1. Vellarikkai Thayir Pachadi
    2. Mango sweet pachadi
    3. Vazhaithandu poriyal
    4. Keerai kootu
    5. Avarakkai Sambar
    6. Rasam
    7. Fried rice
    8. Plain Rice

    And some potato chips, appalam and cut ripe mangoes as sides too. Most of the day's lunch will be having mango pachadi in the menu because its a family favorite there ๐Ÿ™‚ I was not a big fan, but now a days slowly developing taste for it!

    Soon will come up with exciting lunch ideas, stay tuned.
