Sometimes I will get up late because of my busy baby who plays till midnight. I will feel it tough to make anything which requires grinding or roasting steps. Anyways I need to pack lunch for my husband. For that I have some quick recipes handy. Kovakkai Kuzhambu is one such recipe and it goes very well with brown rice. I have told you many times that not every side dish go well with brown rice. So we need to find some interesting and spicy dishes to combine with brown rice. As most of my viewers just refer this blog for weight loss recipes, I am posting more side dishes that go well with brown rice. Make a note of this one. This is quick recipe to make and very tasty with brown rice. Kovakkai or Tindora has some traces of calcium and more fibre.
