Lunch Combo - Small Onion Vathakuzhambu, Kalyana Rasam, Cabbage-Moong Dal Poriyal And Fryums

At times I would plan for some mouth watering lunch menu when I and VJ have some time for a lunch together. I made this Small onion vathakuzhambu along with kalyana rasam and cabbage-moong dal poriyal. I learnt the recipe of kalyana rasam from Subbu's kitchen. And this lunch combo was just awesome along with the hot steaming white rice and fryums. Try this menu and share your thoughts!!!
