This Dassera we had a delicious South Indian menu for lunch. In my house whenever we have a South Indian menu I am the one who enjoys it the most!

Pongal, Sagoo, Puliogre, Engai (Brinjal curry) for the Dassera Lunch This is my Mother-in-law’s recipe and I like it so much that I don’t make any variations to this every time I make it!

Power Parathas- Veggie stuffed Spinach Parathas.
We had some guests last night for dinner; one of our family friend’s daughter is getting married. We celebrated her engagement earlier with Chaats.Now for the pre-wedding dinner (this is called ‘Kelvan’ in Marathi) I wanted to make something substantial yet different. Also there were two grandmothers coming, so I had to plan something accordingly. This was the time I felt the need for a ‘Menu Planner’ website! You feed what you need; Prewedding dinner+substantial+Something different+2 grandmothers and press Search! And then automatically you get the planned Menu: Veggie stuffed spinach parathas
Gavarichi Bhaji (Cluster beans curry)
Gavar-Cluster Beansis a popular vegetable in Maharashtra. They are available all year round here for a very modest price. The only hitch in buying these beans is the time taken to cut them- remove the ends and string them along, pulling the edged fibre. Pluck into small pieces (with hand) at the nodes of the pods.
