Sometimes it’s nice to have a simple lunch for the weekend. And this sort of meal will be useful when we need to relax on a weekend yet enjoy a nice meal. This takes less time to prepare but makes for a filling and delicious lunch.

The meal has the following dishes
- Steamed Rice
- Paruppu Rasam – My mom’s style rasam made with homemade rasam powder
- Mullangi Thuvaiyal | Radish Chutney – A simple chutney that is sure to please the palate and the best part is, no one will guess it’s made with Radish!
- Greens stir fry – A simple and healthy side made that can be made with a wide variety of greens.
- Vegetable Briyani – Who can say no to this!! In this platter, I have shared the Chettinadu Style Vegetable briyani which is absolutely lip-smacking.
- Onion Raita
- Nendram Chips

The kids prefer something special on weekends, and Briyani falls under this category. The elders in the family are happy to have the regular lunch even on weekends.So I prepare such meals on Holidays and Weekends.
Preparing greens before cooking takes time, and on weekends, I prefer to spend less time in the kitchen. I clean and prep the greens the night before so that all I have to do the next day is wash and chop them. This saves a lot of time.
