"Simple Combo Meal/ Lunch : Batate Usli (Poatato Bhaji), Kesari Aamras (Mango Sweet Puree), Dalitoy (Spiced Tuvar Dal), Vegetable Soup, Spiced Chapati (Roti)" ... today being Ekadashi, we avoid rice items in my home ... enjoyed this simple meal ... Yummilicious ...
** Today being Ekadashi, a day where in devotees of Lord Vishnu observe fasting/ upwas in Hindu Community. We Konkani Saraswats too follow the same and avoid eating rice or rice dishes on this day. I try my best to follow traditions, but I must say sometimes it is not possible to do so too. However, that should not deter us from following it at least whenever possible. For the last six months I have been observing the same for decades now but I do miss it unknowingly sometimes, also if I am outstation then I always eat what is offered and never fuss about, as it is my motto always never to dishearten or make it difficult to other, but yes, if asked priorly I do tell them, but leave it entirely to them. I see to it that I do not eat non.veg in particular during such times. Well, to each one their own faith, I somehow like following these traditions. Today, as I did not have much veggies prepared potato bhaji which is our favorite at home with roti or poori and soup.
** I always pressure cook the veggies late in the night and leave it overnight and prepare the same next morning, while dal is prepared almost on daily basis. Aamras is the dish of the season till we get ripe mangoes always, so in all a lovely thali with yummy dishes. I prepared the spiced roti today for a change as I did not have any spicy bhaji as side dish and it went on well with potato bhaji. Sharing links to the recipes of my simple thali of today, you can choose through the same for that which you would love to try out.
