    When Saturday is off, I am so tempted to attempt at making a thali. Of course, nothing turns out with an authentic thali in mind. I just manage to mix and match 3 - 4 dishes and set up a thali. I am more interested in this setup as well. I started with a particular dish in mind and just proceeded with making other dishes that came to mind.

    I had wanted to make Ulaval Charu or Horsegram Rasam as it's called in Telugu. Then I had to make Pepper Cumin Rasam for Kids. So I thought I might as well make the lunch a bit more healthy with some dals and vegetables included. Hence came into the picture the Cabbage Moong Dal Kootu and Beans Carrot Paruppu Usili.

    Added with two sweets that Amma made, it was more than a filling and heavy lunch
    The weekend was very hectic, with a couple more dishes planned, I was on my toes through the day. However, with the first assessment starting for the boys, I had to check out their studies as well. It was tough overseeing what they have to study. They are going to have the test till the end of this week.

    The weather has been pretty good of late, with frequent showers coming our way. The cool breeze makes the day very bearable. And the unexpected rains make it fantastic.

    Now off to ramble off the recipes!

    Another recipe similar to this is the Andhra Style Cabbage Patoli.

     Ulaval Charu

    Oil - 1 tsp
    Curry leaves
    Mustard Seeds

    Wash and chop the cabbage, pressure cook with moong dal, channa dal, till done.

    Grind the coconut, cumin seeds, and green chilies. Once the pressure falls, remove the lid, add the paste, and pressure cook again.

    Once the pressure falls off, make sure there is no excess water. temper with mustard, curry leaves.

    Beans Carrot Paruppu Usili

    Ingredients Needed:

    Beans, chopped - 1 cup
    Carrot - 1 cup
    Yellow Moong Dal - 1/2 cup
    Grated Coconut - 1 tbsp
    Salt to taste
    Red chili powder - 1/2 tsp
    Curry leaves
    Oil - 1 tsp
    Mustard Seeds

    Chop and pressure cook the vegetables. soak and coarsely grind the yellow moong dal.

    Heat a non stick pan with oil, add curry leaves, mustard. Then add the ground dal. Simmer and cook till it's almost done. Add the cooked vegetables and make sure there is no water left.

    When the vegetables turn dry, add salt, red chili powder. Add the grated coconut.

    This is for the weekend cooking that joins Vaishali and Champa's
