We had a lovely summer picnic at the Beaches, care of Suresh Doss. The picnic featured delicious South Indian dishes, many which were new to us.
Clementine loved the tiffan box from Anitha’s Homestyle Kitchen. Her favourite appetizer from the box was the masala vada (fried fritters with chana dal, onions, and herbs).
The main dishes were prepared by Minerva Tiffins. This sambar idil (savoury rice cake in lentil soup with peanut sauce and spices) was very filling.
The other mains included puri bhaji (friend bread) and pongal (rice and lentils).
We had mango lassi shortly thereafter. It was so delicious, we finished the whole thing before taking a photo.
Clementine really liked that the dessert was monster size. It was served in a small clay pot, which we were able to take home with the tiffin box.
We are now back home with happy tummies. Suresh will be hosting other picnics this summer. Sign up for his newsletter on his website for more details.
