South Indian Curry Recipes for rice – collection of 36+ curry recipes. south Indian curry a.k.a kulambu or kuzhambu vagaigal in tamilnadu and kootan or ozhichu curry in malayalam is everyday need for our staple food rice.

Planning a lunch is an everyday hectic task for every women around the corner.  Every morning we end up standing in the kitchen riddled and thinking of what to cook for the day?

Awkward, yes it is, but truth is Sometimes even in the bathroom, Sometimes before even getting out of bed begins the planning.

What’s in the pantry? What’s the vegetable in refrigerator ? What’s the day today? Will my kiddo like the vegetable? Will my Husband take lunch? Do i have time to cook this curry?

Thousands of questions running through our mind everyday to plan our menu.

“Meal planner Never works for me”

Getting on to the fancy term, “meal planner” . How many of us have really tried planning for the week and failed to follow? more than 90 %? At least for me, It does not work. I gave up the idea of planning my meal for the week.

We cook based on our #1 mood, Something with level ‘difficult’ if in happy mood or simple curd rice and potato fry if feeling uncomfortable.

Based on the #2 day, Friday it is compulsory to cook dal πŸ™‚ My Amma has taught me that since the day is considered auspicious, we don’t make puli kulambu or any sour curries, we use lot of vegetables and dal on that day. Each of us have some or the other criteria to cook on a particular day.

Based on #3 family members liking, I remember planning for the week and i ended up totally confused when early in the morning my husband asked me whats for lunch? I gave him the list that am going to prepare. He gave a sad look asking” Can you cook chicken for me today?” and there my planner collapsed.

Based on #4Vegetables in pantry, Yes its true greens have to be cooked first, carrots can wait, pumpkins can ditch you anytime. So its better to check on the vegetables the previous day and plan for the next day based on its shelf life.
