Last week, I felt bored of doing the usual Southindian dishes like sambar, aviyal etc. So for a change I made a simple lunch menu and it turned out to be a big hit! Sometimes, the simple menu will be a huge success. Simple Tomato Rice with a raitha, a deep fried veg along with rasam and pappad is the menu I have made for lunch. Instead of plain tomato rice, I made Andhra Tomato Rice with little higher in spicyness along with onion Raitha. For any variety rice, I surely make rasam and this time I made poricha rasam. Any deep fried vegetable would be good option for this combination. So I made Tararoot (Seppankizhangu) Fry. Finally I served with yummy menu with appalam and hot steaming rice.
Preparing tomato rice is very simple. Tararoot fry takes a bit time to make. Because we need to fry the tararoot in batches. If we add all at the same time, then they will become mushly. So be patience in fry the tararoot in batches. Poricha rasam will also take less time. So overall, we need to spend little effort more for tararoot roast otherwise, this is one of the simplest menu and surely your family would enjoy!!!
