Today is a simple lunch which includes my daughter's lunch box dishes and a stir fry for us. She took mangai saadam to school along with her potato stir fry. I prepared the potato to suit her taste. We had it along with bitter gourd roast. There was a bowl of cucumber slices to cool the heat and of course, curd and pickle along with plain white rice to complete the meal. It was simple yet satisfying.
