Answer 2

Here is a typical brahmin menu combo:
Vaththa kozhambu, paruppu usili, lemon rasam and may be thaaliththa thayir sadham.
I guess, you already have the recipe for vaththa kozhambu in one of the other answers.
Paruppu usili:
-------------------
Soak 1 cup of thoor dhaal (thuvaram paruppu) and 1 cup of channa dhaal (kadalai paruppu) for an hour.
Grind the above with little or no water along with 5-6 red chillies.
Pressure cook this.
Grind the hard above pressure cooked dhaal mix again. It should not be too powdery and let it be little coarse.

Cut beans into small pieces and cook it well (boil in water) and drain the water.

In a pan, after spluttering mustard in oil, add asofoetida, curry leaves, followed by the ground dhal. If the dhaal tastes too bland, add little chili powder. Fry this for sometime and add the cooked beans. Salt to taste.
Lemon rasam:
Boil water with turmeric, green chile cut across the length, ginger pieces, little bit of ground pepper and jeera, salt and 1 cut tomato. When the tomato is cooked add cooked thoor dhaal ( or thoor dhal water). Finish it with mustard thaduka and asofoetida. Add curry leaves and corriander. Before serving add lime juice. Dont reheat this too much if lime juice is already added.

PS: Most of the brahmin recipes will not have garlic, just in case, you want to try out other dishes.

Answer 4

I DISAGREE ! Mr.Shivam, Mr.Aalunga, Yamunaithuraivan and many others have given correct views. Language is means of communication and it is not a religion which holds the language. Only the language enables to share views with others. There are more than Six Thousand Languages in the world. How they exist without support of Hinduism? Means of communication shall not be confused with religion. Your question has united opposite poles like Shivam, Aalunga, Yamunaithuraivan nd many others to give same view! A good effort in fetching same view from different corners! EDIT: Dear Shivam Thanks for agreeing most of my views..
