Vendakkai sambar ( okra/ bhindi), ginger rasam ( lots of fresh ginger grated and added to regular rasam), podalangai kari ( a simple stir fry with snake gourd with just tempering and salt, no spices, no coconut, no green chillies), ponnankanni Keerai thoran ( that I loved, loved). What is ponnankanni Keerai? I googled ( which you can do as well 😄) to find that its English name is dwarf copper leaf. I plucked the leaves today, which is a bit laborious. And Rani made a delish thoran. Temper, add the leaves ( we didn’t chop it), add salt, sauté and garnish it with grated coconut and green chillies. So good! I had rice with just the Keerai. We finished it. Nekku, nokku nu finished. I did mention in my morn post that I am going with my friends for lunch. Will stop at the store ( at Adyar) for a bit because they have asked for some products. At least a few of you must be wondering if I can do justice to eating out after this wonderful meal. To them, I say, worry not 😊, by 12 I am usually wondering what to eat. Thankful for my good appetite 🧿🪬 Rani has made rice rotis and baingan bharta. Husband will have that. I’ll have it for dinner. Daugher will have rice again for lunch. And I’ll make her paruppu adai for dinner. With finely chopped onions, grated carrots and grated capsicum. Adai batter from our Adyar store of course! #mylaporekitchens #breakfast #meals #goodfood #sumptousfood #vegetarianfood #southindianfood

Lunch with friends today. That’s the highlight of the day. It’s been a while since we met, and finally all of our schedules aligned and we got a break today. One even postponed her trip just for the day 🫶🏽! Food and laughter. Thankful for that. Breakfast today is vendakkai ( bhindi / okra / ladies finger ) sambar, some rasam, maybe ginger, because it’s good for the stomach, ponnankanni Keerai ( google says it dwarf copper leaf) thoran and podalangai ( snake gourd) stir fry. For snake gourd, we just add salt. Then the natural sweetness shines. To me, it doesn’t need anything else. No spice powders, no coconut, no green chillies. That’s the menu today. I got freshly made rice flour from our adyar store. Today’s lunch is those rice rotis and baingan bharta . If you are wondering why I am so excited about lunch when I am going out, well, I’ll have it for dinner ! Love, love baingan bharta. That’s the plan. Now I must fold clothes, do a load of laundry. Milk to be boiled for curd. Beetroot and gulkhand milk to be made for daughter. Thandaai milk for husband. Let me get going. #mylaporekitchens #morning #chores #household #routinethings #plantheday #menuplan #mealplan #menuprep #mealprep

Food makes me happy. Good food makes me ecstatic. I got to work just a few minutes back. The first thing that I do is wash my hands and then pray. Whatever time it is. Then it’s time for my black coffee. Accompanied by whatever is to be tasted that day. Today it’s fresh stocks of then kuzhal, mullu murukku, thattai, kai murukku and somas. As soon as staff finish packing, I’ll update quantity on the website. Stay tuned ! #mylaporekitchens #myday #workday #adayatwork #tasting #coffeetime #perkmeup #coffeeaddict #snacks #freshsnacks

And this is my lunch dabba today. @mylaporekitchens instant ragi sevai biryani? What do I call this? Comment and let me know ! #mylaporekitchens #sevai #instantsevai #lunch #lunchdabba #lunchbox

Menu today was Keerai molakoottal ( recipe is on the website), that’s Palak gravy with coconut and toor dal base. Keerai molakoottal can be made with other varieties of greens too, but personally I prefer Palak gives the best colour and to me, that’s imp. That lovely, vibrant green. Manga kari is instant raw mango pickle. Recipe is on the website. And the cutting is the most imp part and I love doing that myself to make sure that the pieces are as tiny as can be. Beans and peas thoran is a stir fry with a garnish of grated coconut and a couple of crushed green chillies. And today it was crunchy and green, just how I love it. Carrot puli Kuzhambu - recipe is on the website. It’s a tamarind gravy with carrots. Used @mylaporekitchens puli Kuzhambu powder. Delish and a staple at our house. My big kal chatti has sadly developed a small crack and now we can’t use it for cooking. But I shall cherish it nonetheless. #mylaporekitchens #morning #breakfast #breakfastmenu #breakfasttime #breakfastlover #menu #meals #vegetarian #southindianfood

Husband has to leave early today. I am looking forward to breakfast. As usual. Menu is his favourite carrot Kuzhambu and beans peas thoran. And my favourite keera molakoottal and manga kari. Rasam left over irukku. Have @mylaporekitchens instant ragi sevai for lunch. Chandra Athai used to do a masala sevai with left over sevai. I am thinking that’ll be a good choice for my dabba today. Sauté onions, tomatoes, veggies of choice, spice powders of choice and toss the sevai in. Done. Healthy, tasty, most importantly easy sevai ready. Now, with @mylaporekitchens instant sevai, we do sevai at least twice a week. Just steaming and tempering and you are done. And currently, it’s one of our best sellers. We have 4 instant sevai options at the store and I am telling you, these are no comparison to commercial brands. Try it today ! #mylaporekitchens #menu #menuplan #morning #breakfast #mealplan #menuprep #mealprep
