May be a function or summer vacation or hubby is on work from home, something among this or all these together made me get full time engaged with my family. But I love the feeling, forgetting everything and getting involved with family. Don’t wonder why I share all these, because now it’s time to share my yesterday’s lunch preparation with all of you. Had a wonderful and happy Tamil New Year / Puthandu Celebration with my family.

Let me the share name of the dishes in the banana leaf – Medhu Vada / Fritters, Steamed rice, Sambhar, Cabbage Poriyal, Carrot Poriyal, Spicy Mashed Potato / Urulaikilangu Masiyal, Mango Pickle, Pappad, Moor Milagai,  Raw Mango Pachadi, Javvarisi Payasam / Sago Kheer, Thalicha Moor / Spiced Buttermilk and Curd / Yogurt.

Stay tuned for carrot poriyal – new year special recipe, got to try it out the first time, it was too good with the carrot and little crunchiness with moong dal.
