Traditional Tamil Brahmin recipes, Authentic Tamil brahmin recipes


Tamil brahmin recipes
Hailing from an authentic Tamil Brahmin family, my supreme love for Traditional
Brahmin recipes is thoroughly justified. However, I totally love trying out recipes
from different cuisines. Few months back when I met some of my relatives at a
family wedding, there was a demand from my cousins to compile a post for
Traditional Brahmin recipes. The idea behind this was to get a complete list of
authentic Brahmin recipes that include No Onion No Garlic recipes. Even today
there are many families that do not include onion and garlic in their daily diet. Many
old people also avoid eating vegetables like drumstick, radish, carrots, bottle gourd
as they are not considered Satvik foods or foods that control your mind. However,
with changing times and with increased awareness of the various health benefits that
each of these vegetables have, people (including me), have started frequently
including these items in their diet. So after much contemplation, here I have tried my
best to compile most of the Tamil Brahmin recipes. What makes each culture so
unique is the wide list of rituals that are followed during festivals and the pujas
performed at home. Keeping this in mind my sister’s blog Kalachar gives details
about the practices in a typical Tamil Brahmin household during pujas and festivals.

Generally at our place, we will the system of having lunch at 10 am and by 2 30 pm we will have coffee|tea, and by 3 30 we will have a Tiffin and dinner will be mostly the left overs from the morning cooking. If needed we will make a vegetable only. But later on due to health reasons we changed the dinner to chapathis. And after coming to Singapore, the entire system changed and we follow the breakfast, lunch and dinner concept only. But in my in laws place they still follow the same system and even when we go there for vacation we follow the similar one.
