Saturday is when we have our lunch leisurely. That is the reason why Saturday’s lunch menu is always special in our home. My husband is a huge fan of vegetables so there will be at least two vegetables in our lunch menu. In today’s lunch menu it’s rice with channa curry, rasam, flat valor stir fry and brinjal stir fry.
