This lunch menu is very very elaborate. You might think that it will take more time. But it doesn't actually. When can you have such an elaborate meal ? It is definitely for a cheat day's lunch. This lunch menu is also Diabetic friendly. I love posting this kind of lunch menu. Only hard thing for me is taking snaps. Other than that these mind of menus won;t take much time. I have include all possible elements of health. Karuveppilai rasam is rich in iron. Lobia vadai is rich in protein, cauliflower is also good in vitamins. For diabetic friends, I have added a millet curd rice. A low fat thokku or pickle is given as a side dish. I feel it is a complete package of health. Other than vadai, everything is made with very very less oil. The combination of rice with rasam and kootu will always become a hit. Sameway curd rice with vadai and thokku makes the right choice. I hope you guyz love this menu.
