BANANA LEAF


I was browsing through some folders of pictures taken few months back and see what i found..pictures of our Onam celebration!!!
Onam is a festival celebrated in Kerala by everyone regardess of any religion or caste.We manage to celebrate it every year no matter where we are.A meal like this is a main part of the celebration,and everyone takes part in cooking the meal.The dessert is not there in this picture.

South Indian cuisine is one of my favorites and i feel most healthy when i have a typical south Indian vegetarian meal ..On a normal daily basis the diet of a south indian consists one or more of these components.

Sambar curry(the gravy on the rice) is one of the dishes i like and know to cook well.To give an idea of the procedure involved in cooking it -

It is made by
-boiling red lentils(masoor dal),
-onion+vegetables like carrot,potatoes,cauliflower, ladies finger infact any combination of vegetables can be used.
-tomatoes
-Sambar powder(available ready made)
-salt till cooked properly.
-fry some mustard seeds and red dried chilli's in coconut oil or vegetable oil and mix in to complete the dish.
