Green Peas Poriyal
Green peas are a wonderful source of nutrition. They are rich in protein and vitamins and that's why it is also one of the first foods given to babies. Apparently, 1/2 cup of cooked green peas has 4 times more protein than carrots! So green peas are a wonderful source of protein for vegetarians. They have a low glycemic index and green peas are rich in fiber too. There are many ways to cook the green peas, this kind of poriyal is a South Indian speciality and it goes very well with sambar or rasam rice.

Keerai Thandu Poriyal
Keerai thandu poriyal is a stirfry made with only the stems of the keerai. I make a lot of keerai poriyal and my kids don't like eating the stems of the greens. So my maid suggested this recipe where you can cook the stems separately and make a poriyal out of it. The stems are already so tender so it cooks pretty well. I put it in the pressure cooker to make sure it was well cooked so that my kids will not fuss about it!

Palak Poriyal
Palak also known as spinach is a rich source of vitamins, calcium, iron and omega 3 fatty acids. We include palak very often in our diet and this is one of the recipes I make with it. This poriyal is easy and simple to make and gets done quickly. This goes very well with South Indian meals like rasam or sambar rice.

Keerai Kedayal
Any variety if keerai is highly nutritious, including green leafy vegetables is very good for us. Greens is rich is iron, fibre and vitamins! One of my father's friend who is a naturopath, told me many years ago that it is very good to include one variety of keerai everyday!
There are many different ways to make keerai. I make a poriyal or kootu with it. My mother in law makes this kedayal and my husband likes to have keerai this way.

Poosanikai Sambar
Sambar is a stew made with lentils, vegetables and tamarind juice. It is a staple of South India and we make some variety of sambar atleast twice a week. I love to make sambar with poosanikai. It makes it so delicious! I mostly use white pumpkin for my sambar.
Poosanikai is also called as Winter Melon/Ash Gourd and White Pumpkin. It is considered as a natural coolant to the body and is rich in anti oxidants and it can also reduce cholesterol. It also has anti-inflammatory properties and heals stomach ulcers.
You can add the poosanikai by itself or you can add it along with some other veggies and make the sambar.

Vendakkai Varuval
Vendakkai or lady's finger is veggie that my husband loves. Vendakkai is a healthy veggie rich in calcium, vitamins and folic acid. I never used to buy this veggie earlier because of its's slimy nature but now I've learnt to cook this without any sticky problems! I will share tips on how to avoid the sticky nature of lady's finger later on.
This varuval is very tasty! We don't add any onion to it and all the masalas together give it a deep spicy taste that we love! I don't add curd or besan to make it crisp or avoid stickiness, it takes very less time to cook too and gets done quickly.

Egg Gravy
This is a tasty and rich egg gravy which goes very well with pulao or with roti. It's easy and simple to make and loved by kids too! I made this gravy with a puree of onion and tomato as we were having some kids over for lunch. If you prefer to have a little texture in your gravy then you can finely chop the onions and tomatoes and add it in.

Vendakkai Sambar
Sambar is a staple of South India, we make sambar every week and sometimes many times a week! I usually make my sambar with toor dal, you can add some split moong dal as well. Sambar can be made with multiple veggies or with a single vegetable. This time I made it with okra.
Vendakkai sambar tastes really good, the only thing to note is to make sure the vendakkai does not become sticky. To avoid the stickiness, cut the okra into 1 inch pieces and saute the okra separately before adding it to the sambar. By cooking it this way, you can make a delicious non sticky okra sambar.

Siru Keerai Poriyal
Keerai is a staple in South Indian homes. Including any variety of keerai at least 3 days a week is very good for health. Siru Keerai is rich in iron, vitamins and fibre.
You can make a masiyal or a poriyal with siru keerai. I usually make a masiyal with siru keerai or arai keerai but this time I decided to make a poriyal.
I make the poriyal slightly different and this makes it really tasty. Instead of using just grated coconut, I add some garlic and green chillies and then add it in which gives the keerai a unique taste.

Aloo Matar Paneer
I normally make only matar paneer but one day I had some potatoes that I wanted to use up so added it to the curry and it ended up being very tasty! Since then I make this quite often since potatoes are one of the vegetables my kids enjoy eating.
This goes very well with roti or any rice variety.

Potato Roast | Urulai Kizhangu Roast
Potato roast is the most easiest side dish you can make!! I can't think of anything that is more simpler than a potato roast! I make this quite often since my kids like eating it with curd rice. You can adjust the spice mix as per your requirements. I usually add less spice for my kids and make it more spicy for my husband.
