Planing weeknight dinners are so important and most often with our palates growing eclectic, we are constantly looking for recipes that are spread across cuisines. This week, we have a variety of recipes from across north and south of India, from Rajma Chawal, Keerai Kootu, Thalipeet, Pani Puri, Tacos & much more for the special weekend dinners.
We have planned some of the weeknight dinners in such a way that you can make a little extra and pack them into your lunch boxes. We have kept in mind to include the various food groups from proteins, carbs and also vitamins. Try including a salad everyday in your diet, it helps in main good health and also makes your mind and body sharp and alert.
The most fun part of our menus, for these dinner recipe ideas is our weekend specials. Starting from Friday night we have Mexican recipes, to a chaat recipes for Saturday night and Italian recipes for Sunday night.
