DAILY MEAL SHARING....

When we blog we normally blog about a new dish prepared or something special that we do in our house....
But its not that everyday we make something special , most of the days its simple home cooked meal sometimes with a little twist and sometimes just a traditional meal which your mom makes or something that you are habituated in making...

Whenever someone invites me for lunch or dinner especially when its only me who is going I insist that they make dishes which are cooked at their home on daily basis and not something special . I feel the special dishes are always elaborate and good for parties and special occasions but the home food is what is healthy, tasty and has lots of simplicity and love in it and as its something that you cook regularly it comes out really really tasty.


I always feel that bloggers should come out and share with all of us the food that goes on their plate everyday and which is without any frills  " A SIMPLE PLATE OF HOME COOKED MEAL " so pure and heartwarming .

I am planning to share my day to day meals whenever possible as I cook three meals a day and they are all home-cooked and from scratch... please don't expect them to be beautifully laid out but they will be the way we eat everyday at home ...


I would love to hear from you if you agree to what I have written in this post and if you all would love to share my daily meal with me if not in person but virtually.

The above meal was made last week when my mother in law was here to spend a couple of days with us, normally when there is someone over for a meal I have more of fish in my plate , like you see on today's thali or plate I have two fish dishes one dry fish curry (its not dried fish but the gravy is less or dry ) or also called as fish sukha where I have used a small silver fish which we call as "verli" and I also have a fish curry made with surmai or king fish which is eaten with rice...

When I share my daily meal I will not write the recipes but will give them to you on demand.. so please ask for them if you want to try it out....

MENU FOR THE DAY.....
cabbage and green peas
verli sukha
surmai fish curry
rice
chapati
