Mahalaya Paksham lunch Dinner combo- 14 – Pithru paksham recipe without onion and garlic
We are almost on the second last of Mahalayam and tomorrow is Mahalaya Ammavasai. Today’s menu comes with an interesting North Indian Pulao and a potato sabzi. My amma learnt this potato sabzi from my athai many many years ago. We used to call this Aloo dum those days. Those days amma made kurma whenever she made chapati, on festival days and Mahalayam days, South Indian dal was made, or coconut chutney was made, which we used to hate during those days.
When Athai introduced this sabzi Amma used to make this on days we don’t eat onion and garlic. We love this with puris and jeera rice. Basmati rice was a rare thing in those days, and whenever Amma makes jeera rice or veg biryani, we love to have it with this potato sabzi.
The vegetable biryani and kurma recipe, I can say I attempted on my own in June 2009, back when my mama’s family visited me in Singapore. My Mami and perimma won’t eat garlic and I made this veg biryani and veg kurma for them. They both were super impressed by the taste. Later, when I started Jeyashri’s kitchen in August 2009, I shared this recipe, and ever since, it has been a super hit.
