I always wanted to know more about food combinations that work
universally in India or in our homes.
We follow many religious festivals, some just festivals and
sometimes our own family celebrations, but each one of us have certain food
combinations which work well with each other and have been going on in the
family for years..
Lets share with each other what are those combination which are
awesome together and which we enjoy in our family..
In earlier days there were lots of fasting or traditional days that
ladies followed and which comes with a set menu, which was relentlessly
followed and continued through generations.
These traditional menus are fast dwindling and fading off..so to
keep these alive lets discuss what each one follows and if not traditional do
you have some food combinations that work in your home which you will like to
share.
Here are a few which I follow.. This will hopefully increase once
I read your comments.
1. VARAN-BHAT ,SHRIKHAND AND PHODI (potato fritters)
2. PARATHA AND NICE HOT
NESCAFE.
3. SABUDANA KHICHDI IS ALWAYS MADE ON GOOD DAYS FOR BREAKFAST (not necessarily for a
fasting day) WITH TEA.
4. SABUDANA WADA and GULAB JAMUN - special days (for my son) .
5. DAHI –WADA AND SOME CHAT ITEM -My birthday.
I was at our cousins place where I loved the combination of
sabudana khichdi with ukadeche modak going to have that once.
My sister in laws mom always has pulao with Puran poli for dinner
(i.e Puran poli is always combined with pulao for a meal)
Some people enjoy Puran poli with katachi amti i.e dal made with
the water leftover after cooking channa dal for the Puran poli.
Share your ideas with me and we can all follow a new tradition.

Nice combinations....here r few of my favorites.....on fasting day, at my parents place we used to have vari tandul, danyachi amti snd kakdi koshimbir.
Another festival special is batata bhaji, puri, shrikhand snd tak.
pavbhaji followed by curd rice.After a hot spucy pavbhaji, curd rice is cooling on tastebuds and tummy.
Amazing combos. Loved it. Even I cook more of such combos or mostly one-pot meals as I hardly have any time for cooking elaborate meals!
Some of my fav combos are:
1)Veg pulav + onion pakoras + curd.
2)Veg pulav + papad + pickle + raita.
3)chicken + pav + salad + rice + sol kadi.
4)Chappati + tonak + salad.
5)Soup + sandwich + fruit salad.
6)Dosa + batat bhaaji + chutney.
7)Masale bhaat + suki bhaaji + pickle.
8)Veg Noodles + Sweet & sour vegetables.
9)Veg friedrice + gobi manchurian.
10)Puri + batat bhaaji or puri + payas
