Today we had some really good food for lunch. It was my sister's birthday so we had a special meal.
The middle larger chunk is Pongal. It's sort of a kind of mashed up rice dish. It's eaten as the main meal. The grayish liquid is Coconut Chutny. It's like a gravy for both the Pongal and the doughnut shaped item at the top called Vada. It's basically a spicy fried dough. Then the top left corner is a sweet called Kesari. The one I ate has pineapple in it.
Sometimes special meals are eaten on a banana leaf (or even regulars. The leaves are easy to get and decomposable) but I have plate under my leaf because the leaf was small and I didn't want to spill onto the table. A lot of hotels actually serve dishes on a leaf that they cut out and put on a regular plate.
