Thakkali sadam recipe| South Indian style tomato rice

Navaratri 2016 is keeping me quite busy, though we don't keep Golu at home, i am visiting my friends here almost everyday. Thakkali sadam | south indian style tomato rice is a recipe without onion garlic, recently i tasted in one of the friend's house during a navaratri brunch. I first thought this as puliyodarai and then she told it is tomato rice. So i noted down the recipe of thakkali sadam and tried it home the very next day. I packed it for Suresh's lunch box and got good feedback too. Also many readers of Jeyashri's kitchen who are residing in Singapore, are inviting me to their house for Navaratri. As for as possible i am going but too far places i couldn't make it. One among them told me to post few more recipe ideas to serve for guests during Navaratri. This thakkali sadam is a fantastic recipe and you can replace the rice with sevai too. Also this is a perfect travel food and stay good for a day. Check out my other Navaratri recipes too.

Navaratri Neivedyam recipes | Navaratri recipes

Navaratri 2016 is starting from tomorrow, Oct 2nd. People keep Golu and do pooja to Godesess and also offer sundal and sweet as neivedhyam. Daily we make one Sundal and one sweet during Navaratri. I have alreay posted a Navaratri Combo menu, for guests, in my cooking for guests series. This post comes with an idea on what to make for neivedhyam on each day of Navaratri. I have just made a combo to give an idea. Feel free to alter according to your preference. check out my sister's post on how to keep Navaratri Golu . 
 Before going on to this post, let me tell you few general rules we follow during this festival. The spice powder which we make for sundal, should not be made in bulk and used. Once you do neivedyam with that podi, the next day you can not use the same for neivdhyam. You can use it up in curries or sambar. Once the food is offered as neivedhyam, it should not be altered even salt is less or spice is more or sweet is less.. no alterations recommended. Check out my complete list of navaratri recipes.
