Traditional 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.

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. To keep receiving updates follow Jeyashri’s Kitchen on Facebook and Instagram.

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 leftovers from the morning cooking. If needed we will make a vegetable only.

But later on due to health reasons we changed the dinner to chapatis. And after coming to Singapore, the entire system changed and we follow the breakfast, lunch, and dinner concept only. But in my in-law’s place, they still follow the same system, and even when we go there for vacation we follow the similar one.

Traditional Tamil Brahmin recipes I have posted a detailed note on Sumangali parathanai.
