Yummy!
I have been living in the south for the last two decades and have now become partial to south Indian food. I am a terrible cook but love eating!
Have fun cooking and feeding.
Ahh, Ram, I wish your next attempt would be in B'lore....Good luck, Do let us know how the event turned out.
Amitabh, Sharon & Rekha, Thanks !
Ashutosh, it is easy if you plan it well.
Step 1: Cook 25 Kg + 25 Kg of rice + 25 Kg of Dal in three large vessels - 45 minutes. This is the crucial step and if this is done right, there is little chance of goof up !
Step 2 : Create gravies to go with rice - various combination of gravies can be built from dal, tamarind, yogurt and coconut. For combinations pl see http://ramkicooks.blogspot.com/2008/12/basic-south-indian-curries-poster.html
The trick is to choose veggie and gravy combinations which can be cooked fast. The menu is as below.
1. Badam Kheer
2. Thakkali Kulambu. ( Chettinad Tomato Stew)
3. Dali Thove ( Karnataka's Lentil stew)
4. Tomato pappu ( Andhra's Tomato, lentil stew )
5. Vellirikkai Thayir pacchadi ( Cucumber raita)
6. Majjiga pulusu ( Andhra's yogurt stew)
7. Shunti Thambli ( Karnataka's yogurt - coconut - ginger blended curry)
8. Drumstick Sambar
9. Cabbage thoran ( Kerala's Cabbage coconut dry curry)
10. Mysore rasam ( Lentil - coconut - tamarind thin stew)
11. Pappadam ( Kerala's Lentil wafers )
12. Mango Pickle
13. Yogurt
Do come over if you can ! It'd be fun !
/Cheers
Ramki
