Aj was asking for masala dosa, moreover being Sunday I was worried about what to make for breakfast and lunch.

It became easy when Aj demanded me for something, that at least I know what to do.

Aj always wants sambar when he eats dosa. So I thought of making sambar that will go well with both breakfast as well as lunch and thought of keeping the same for lunch.

Therefore I made it not too mild not too tangy and spicy, in mid way between both so that I can use it up for both.

I made drumstick and brinjal sambar. I know Vj would prefer chutney over sambar and only yesterday I ground this chutney except that I used coriander instead of mint.

So decided to make coconut chutney to keep it simple. I had coconut that may dry if I keep it for more time than this, so used it up.

In conclusion, just plan and go ahead so that it reduces your work (like I made sambar that can be used for both breakfast and lunch. And also make use of the ingredients according to availability and plan your menu. No hard & fast rules.
