This week I have come up with traditional and scrumptious lunch menu. This includes Vathakuzambu, araitha rasam, paruppu thugayal, ladysfinger stir-fry, keerai kootu and curd rice. Any stir-fry vegetable goes well with vathakuzhambu. I personally perfer ladysfinger but you can also try potato fry, tara root fry also. Paruppu thugayal goes well with jeera rasam or araitha rasam. This time I have taken araitha rasam to accompany paruppu thugayal. For every lunch menu, i prefer to include a spinach dish which would make it more healthy. This time I have concocted keerai kootu which goes well with both vathakuzhambu as well as araitha rasam. Sutta appalam is a best companion to the the Vathakuzhambu. Instead of plain curd, I have done the seasoning for curd rice and mixed the curd rice as ready to eat. Curd rice with vathakuzhambu is yet another fantastic combo.

All of these dishes require grinding and so proper planning of frying the grinding ingredients and grinding them all prior to cooking will help us finish the cooking at the earliest. Serve with Sutta Appalam. Refer the following links for individual recipes. Enjoy the traditional lunch recipe and share your comments!
