Mahalaya Paksham lunch Dinner combo- 12 – No onion no garlic Pithru paksha recipes.
Today’s menu has our family’s favorite combo Vatha kuzhambu and kootu. Some people avoid having keerai during Mahalayam, but as I mentioned before in all my posts, I use all vegetables except onion and garlic during Mahalayam period. Kootu and vatha kuzhambu is a staple combo loved by all at home. The pan-fried brinjal is yet another one of my personal favorites and this recipe is a super hit. We use the big Bharta baingan for making this recipe.
The dinner menu has aloo paratha and spicy pomegranate raita. Aloo paratha is always a super hit at home. Usually, no one at home is particular about hot food. Even rotis I make in the evening and they have it for dinner. But any stuffed parathas, they love to have them hot. It doesn’t mean they don’t eat if I keep it 1-2 hours ahead, but they love to eat it hot. So I plan it on days when I don’t have any classes and other outside work. We have 2 version of Aloo paratha recipe on Jeyashris kitchen. The other one is with onion – Dhaba style aloo paratha.
