Urad dal rice,Ellu thuvaiyal,Avial recipe -TIRUNELVELI LUNCH MENU


உளுந்து சாதம் , எள்ளு துவையல் ,அவியல் - This is a famous lunch combo in my native place, Tirunelveli.We usually prepare this lunch menu for teen aged girls during their puberty.On those 5-7 days,these dishes will be in their menu for sure.Ulundhu paruppu sadam/Ulundu sadam is for strengthening the bones,Ellu thuvaiyal is to flush out the toxins from Ovaries and Avial/Aviyal to include the goodness of all vegetables.We never make this rice without this thogayal and avial.Its a very tasty and flavourful meal.My mom makes it at least twice in a month when we were teens.Mom usually makes this with split white urad dal.But i used black ones with skin as it is considered to be more healthy.I tried this menu last weekend for the first time.Sendhil loved it a lot.People from South( Madurai,Tirunelveli) must have known about this lunch menu very well.
Nellai girls, do try this authentic lunch menu for your family.Everybody will love it Smile.
