Wondering what to try out for a light, lean & simple weekend Lunch? I am in this situation on most weekends. Especially when I am in a mood to have some plain white rice with a simple gravy & assorted fries.So many options do pop into my head, but half of them are rejected at the first thought only.
Lightning-fast cook times make this tasty menu perfect for a busy weekend lunch especially when you have laundry, cleaning etc piled up for the day. At such times, keeping it simple becomes an obligation.
So when it's crunch time and you need to get some good lunch on the table, the best thing to cook is whatever’s in your fridge and pantry! Just find your favorite veggies and start cooking a ton and spoil your family.
Nothing goes well with a fresh-seasoned lentils curry like homemade plain white rice. And a few fries & a refreshing salad as the side dish will surely pep up that weekend mood.
So without further ado, I publish the gujarati dal recipe which is the easiest pick for a simple weekend lunch.
