A compilation of 11 Tamil Vegetarian Lunch Menus | Tambrahm lunch menus with links to recipes
This post is thanks to all the encouragement received by my Full-Meals project on my Instagram and Facebook. I’ve compiled here for you 11 menus comprising traditional Tamil vegetarian dishes. Some of them are classic combinations like Avial-Arachuvitta Sambar and some others are my own favourites. All these Tambrahm lunch menus can be served with rice or cooked millets.
This menu is not written in stone. Feel free to mix and match as per your liking and availability of ingredients.Â

Are you sure about the combinations? For example, vendaya kuzhambu goes with paruppu thuvaiyal.
I’m still looking for the crispy bhindi fry recipe 🙂
@viswanath no combinations are written in stone, may be you missed my sentence – “Some of them are classic combinations like Avial-Arachuvitta Sambar and some others are my own favourites.” Usili has lots of dal so it is good to combine it with a dish that does not have dal, hence the ‘nutritionally’ balanced combination. Thank you for your input.
@kary – that is an airfryer recipe, scheduled to go on blog this month. Plus I dont want to get snarky remarks that airfryer crispy bhindi is not a classic tamil recipe 😀
Hi Nandita…thanks and waiting for it. Anyway, you sure won’t be getting such comments from me. As long as the bhindi comes out looking like that, who cares if it was done in an airfryer 🙂
Thank you for sharing this 🙂
@kary 😀 soon!
@rahul – thanks!
Superb collection!
The most common South Indian restaurant combination here in the US for Aviyal, is a Pongal. Many South Indian restaurtants have it listed in the menu as Pongal_Aviyal. The first time I saw it I thought it was weird as I had never had this combination growing up in India. But now I have started to like it. As Aviyal does not have too much Protein, the Pongal seems to provide that and the flavors seem to match up too. With my new Instant_Pot, making Pongal has become breezily easy, and Aviyal is such a simple dish to make. Try it and see if this works for you.
I like avial best with rice – not even adai that is so famous in Chennai restaurants 🙂
And I do love pongal with gothsu 🙂
