Collection of Poriyal & Thoran - South Indian Vegetable Side Dishes for Lunch

Every day we prepare two varieties of vegetable side dishes for our lunch. Among those two varieties there must be a poriyal dish and the other one is kootu, aviyal or varuval. Varieties of poriyal  dishes are countless with our seasonal vegetables. As I said in my poriyal or thuvaram dishes, we add the ground coconut mixture prepared with coconut, small onions, garlic cloves and red chilly or green chilly. This unique coconut paste is often used in our poriyal or thuvaram dishes. Some prefer to add grated coconut or desiccated coconut powder for poriyal dishes. I actually don't like poriyal dishes made without any flavours. For me, poriyal must have a mix of flavours with perfect textures. We usually precook the vegetables in a vessel (except for keerai poriyal) and then we saute it with the tempering ingredients and finished with our coconut mixture. If you find it difficult to precook the vegetables, you can prepare as you like. But actually pre cooking the ...

Tomato green chilly chutney - Tomato chutney with green chillies - Side dish for Idli, Dosa and Ven Pongal

In most of our houses we prepare either coconut chutney with red chillies or green chillies as an accompaniment for idlies and dosas. Sometimes these two chutneys are really boring on regular rotations. One day my Chithi(aunt) taught me this different tomato chutney with green chillies. Normally for tomato chutney we add dried red chillies or red chilly powder, but in this dish the tomatoes are cooked along with green chillies and then made into a paste. The paste is further sauted with onions and flavoured with little sambar powder.

Rajma Sweet Corn Salad with Curd Dressing - Healthy Protein-Rich Salad

If you’re looking for a light, refreshing, and protein-rich salad, this Rajma Sweet Corn Salad is the perfect choice! Almost 19 years ago, when we were in California, I used to enjoy the Chipotle burrito rice bowl. It was a wholesome meal with black-eyed peas, long grain rice, sweet corn, sour cream, guacamole, and tossed capsicum onion slices(fajita). Among all the Italian, Mexican, and Chinese restaurants I tried in the US, that Chipotle burrito bowl has always been my all-time favorite. Recently, when I prepared this Rajma Sweet Corn Salad with curd dressing, the taste immediately reminded me of that burrito bowl I loved so much. The combination of rajma and sweet corn with the creamy curd dressing brought back those nostalgic flavors in a healthier, Indian-inspired way. Rajma (kidney beans) takes a little longer to cook than other legumes like chickpeas or peanuts, but the effort is worth it. With the sweetness of corn, the crunch of fresh veggies, and the tangy curd dressing, this...
