DayPlanner-28-29-30-Mar12-NormalDays:

28th, 29th and 30th as I had been to office it was a normal food.

28th: I planned to make chappatis and palak paneer. But hubby told let us have chappatis with palya and chutney. So I went his words.

29th: He came home early and brought palak, we had Palak pappu and Rice.

30th: As I went to my SIL house and came I brought ridgegourd pappu made by her and prepared pulachaaru.

As it was year end hubby had a very hectic work schedule and couldn't literally concentrate much on things.

Breakfast on 28th was: Lemon Rice and Curd Rice

Lemon Rice:

As shown in above figure the ingredients are:

Salt - 2 tsp

Cooked rice - 1/2 glass

Roasted Groundnut - few

Cashewnuts - few

Green chillies -4

Curry leaves - few

Urad Dhal - 1 tsp

Channa Dhal - 1 tsp

Lemon Juice - extracted from 1 lemon

Oil - 2 tbsp

Turmeric - 1 tsp

Method:

Heat oil in a kadai once its hot roast cashewnuts and keep it aside

Take it out and in the same oil add mustard seeds once it splutters add urad dhal, channa dhal, groundnuts, curry leaves

Once the dhal becomes red add green chillies and mix well

Add powdered salt and mix well again

Before switching off the stove add 1 tsp of turmeric and mix well

Once this mixture gets cooled add lemon juice and mix well

Spread the rice in a big bowl so that it becomes little cool

Put the above mixture and mix well

Curd Rice:

Salt - 2 tsp

Cooked Rice - 1/2 glass

Urad Dhal - 1 tsp

Channa Dhal - 1 tsp

Oil - 2 tsp

Curry leaves - few

Curds - 1 cup (which appears like a bowl)

Green Chillies - 2

Method:

Heat oil in a kadai once its hot add mustard seeds when it splutters add urad dhal, channa dhal, curry leaves, green chillies and saute well

Remove it from the stove on the cooled rice, add salt and curds and mix well

Curd Rice is ready.

Note: I first prepared tadka for curd rice and used the same kadai for lemon rice. So the time to heat the kadai for the second time gets saved.

Oh God, that black colored one in the photo is mustard seeds and cumin seeds which i have kept for both lemon rice and curd rice.
