Get-Together Menus

Friends, With the power playing truant, I am not able to come here regularly!!
2 days back, BF was
sandwich toast with a new tomato chutney & cheese,
sorgum (vellai cholam) flakes, now available here
Pumpkin juice since the veg was very fresh.

For the chutney, roast in 1 tsp oil
urad dhal - 1 tsp
Gram dhal - 2 tsp
Chopped tomatoes - 1/2 cup
Red chilli powder - 1 tsp or more.
When well sauted, grind this with 1/2 cup coconut & temper. A friend says this is the hotel red chutney.Chilli powder instead of chillies gives a nice colour.




Lunch was instant bisibela with raitha.
For inst BB, roast in few drops of oil
Red chillies - 2
Pepper - 1/4 tsp
Urad & gram dhals - 1/4 tsp each
Dhaniya - 1 tsp
Cinnamon - 1/2 "
Maratti moggu - 1
Copra 2 tbsp
Dhal - 1/4 cup & Rice 3/8 cup
Usual method of one whistle cooking with some frozen mixed vegs.


Since lunch was heavy, I just made curd lapsi with cucumber for dinner!!

 

Friends,
2 days back, menu:
Breakfast:
MW Lapsi-oats porridge with bananas
+ mandatory papaya + cucumber.I added 3 each of almonds + walnuts.

Since this was a filling BF, I did'nt make anything else.

Lunch was
Sweet vathakuzhambu
with sweet potatoes
Cabbage kootu
On days of vathakuzambu & morkuzambu, my vegetable definitely has dhal.



Dinner was rava pongal, which goes well with vathakuzhambu!

I made apple custard because some friends were dropping in.
Just a layer of apples
Sprinkle brown sugar + cinnamon powder
Thick vanilla custard without sugar
Again Sprinkle brown sugar + cinnamon powder
Bake at 180 C for 30 mtes.

 

Friends,
2 days back, the menu was:
Breakast - Ragi Vella Dosai
Masala mor
Mandatory fruits are not shown in the photo :rotfl


Lunch was
Potato-tomato sambar
Cabbage curry.

Dinner was\
Khichdi Dhal Dosai
the second one with stuffing.

Since 3 wholewheat bread slices were left, I made
MW bread halwa
for a "sweet-craving"!!!

 

Breakfast:
Aval usili
Ragi porridge ( I love it with low cal millk & brown augar)
Banana, for a change from papaya

Lunch:
Lapsi (instead of rice) +
Ridge gourd masiyal
Seppankizangu roast

Since lunch was lapsi, I indulged in idlis for dinner!! Sambar was "carried over"!!

I am posting the photo of MW brownie, I baked for a friend!!

 

Breakfast:
PuliPongal
I tried it with varagu - our locally available quinoa!! It turned out perfect!!
It went very well with lassi!!

Lunch was keerai mulagootal & getti aviyal. The latter is a Trivandrum style avial - as a side dish & not kuzhambu. The vegs are pressurised for 1 whistle with minimum tamarind water & coconut paste added. No curd at all. This is a great combo with keerai mulagootal in our house.


Since I baked fresh bread, dinner was
Bread with Vegetable Cream
with a slice of cheese + curds.

 

Breakfast:

Some left over idlis in the fridge had to be :finished" off!! What better way than to convert them to
Seeraalam


Lunch was cooked quinoa (or varagu) with brinjal gravy curry

Pumpkin kootu

Dinner was
Ragi dosai
I made it with ragi-urad combo!!

Some malai was left over & I made MW malai chocolate to give a friend!!
Surprising that 99% fat freemilk also has top layers. I collected & used. But the flavour was good, unlike AAvin!!

 

Friends,
Breakfast was Bread Rolls.I smeared a mixture if softened paneer + grate cheese + hung curds + mustard powder + pepper, salt on trimmed bread & rolled with baby corn & pineapple pieces. It was delicious.



Lunch was rotis-green dhal-sliced kovakkai roast


Dinner was varagu (quinoa) kichdi.



I tried some thinai urundai. Thinai is fox millet!!
