“My Pejje Jevana Thali~ 382 : Ambuli Nonche (Raw Mango Pickle), Cauliflower Piyavu (Onion) Sanna Polo (Spicy Dosa), Tendle Talsani (Ivy Gourd Garlic Stir Fry), Kani Tambdo Ukde SheetHa Pejja (Kerala Matta Broken Red Boiled Rice Porridge), Toop (Ghee)” … last night was really frightening and looked like as though all hell broke loose after the frightening thunder, lightning and lashing of rains that hit Thane city for about 2-3 hours that kept most of us awake till the wee hours … there is nothing more heartwarming than pejje jevana especially when there is still chill in air … accompanied the meal with nonce, talasani and sanna polo … Yummilicious …
** Last night was really frightening and looked like as though all hell broke loose with all that noise of roaring thunder, lightning and lashing rains hitting out the windows almost rattling them that kept me awake for hours. Today I just wanted to enjoy a simple meal for lunch and then take a good nap to compensate for the nightlong tiring experience. Pejje jevana/ Rice porridge meals are always a favorite and so decided to prepare the same for meals. Do include in your diet, pejje jevana (rice porridge meal) be it with inclusion of veg. dishes or non. Veg dishes, it tastes wonderful.
** Always serve pejja/ rice porridge topped with a generous serving of toop/ ghee. To those who are worried about consuming ghee/toop, I think the recent clarifications by almost all Doctors, nutritionist and Ayurveda practitioners must have assured you about including them into your daily diets, say 2 tblsp a day. I am happy that amma (mother) always insisted on serving a little bit of ghee and I continued that habit without falling prey to modern conclusions from people denying our ancestors knowledge only to fall back on to same age old practices, so do not worry, a little bit goes a long way.
** In all, definitely a heartwarming meal as I mentioned and a short nap of 20 minutes made me bounce back in full energy. I served it with my favorite tendle talasani, sanna polo and pickle/ nonche and it was indeed a fantastic meal.
