We came back from a trip and I found myself behind my schedules! And on top we had to go exercise our franchise. Not one single worth person to choose but still didn't want it to go waste or be used by someone else.
We had an Artist Weekend at office where all employees were asked to exhibit their artistic talents. And what each of them came out was really amazing. Never knew I was working amidst such a talent lot! Have uploaded few of the most voted works by everybody. I knew I was going to recreate my own painting which I am doing after a decade. All these are framed and adorning our walls!

While I was doing this, I was also thinking of starting something on the lines of the pictures of what I have put up in my Spice Your Life blog about kids! These are some Random pictures but worth so much when you go through them later. More on that will be featured in that blog.
Coming to the post for the day, this is a very simple traditional Tamilian combo for lunch that we make so often. But for a change I made the potatoes in tamarind juice. This is different from this Potato with tamarind. And this Lemon Rice is the way Amma makes. The other lemon rice is how my Athamma makes. I always feel Lemon rice is so simple that it doesn't require a recipe. I was proved wrong when couple of friends expressed that they don't know how to make it!

Today's Lunch Box had
Lemon Rice
Urulai Puli Curry
Rasam with Rice
Curd Rice
Uruli Puli Curry
Ingredients Needed:
Potatoes - 250 gms
Onion - 1 big
Tamarind - small lemon size
Salt to taste
Chili powder - 1 tsp
Coriander powder - 1 tsp
Turmeric powder a pinch
Oil - 2 tsp
Seasonings
Curry leaves
Mustard + Urad dal - 1/2
Green Chillies
Method to prepare:
Wash and soak the tamarind in water. Once it is soft extract the pulp. The extract should be thick.
Peel the potatoes and chop into chunks. Make a marinade of tamarind, chili powder, coriander powder, salt and turmeric. Keep it aside for 10 minutes. Then pressure cook till the potatoes are soft.
Heat a pan with oil. Add the seasoning. Once they splutter, then add the onion juliennes along with the green chilies and sauté well till the onions are brown. Then stir in the cooked potatoes along with the masala. Mix well. Cook on high for 2 mins. Simmer for 5 - 10 mins till the curry is thick.
This can be made dry also by roasting it well, but little gravy makes a great combo with Lemon Rice.
