As a 73 years old single senior citizen, I used to rely on local Brahmin catering outlets for side dishes in my food. These caterers, Brahmin households, charge between Rs 100 to 120 for supplying four items: Sambar, curry, rasam and koottoo. They usually don't supply cooked rice.
As four items are too much for me, I used to order for any two items daily. Recently, the caterers said that it is not profitable to them unless I ordered for full package of four items and said that they could not deliver just 2 items daily.
Thanks to digital shopping scenario, I can place order for food via Swiggy, Zamato etc. But I don't use this option for two reasons: 1. I don't know whether the food is cooked by Brahmins. According to Scriptures, Brahmins have to eat only food items that are cooked by Brahmins; otherwise, it is a sin. Hence, I don't like eating some thing that is not cooked by Brahmins. 2. The delivery person keeps vegetarian and non-vegetarian food items in the same bag. This is uncomfortable for me.
Hence, I am myself cook rice as well as side dishes for the past few weeks.
Usually I place order from Big Basket orAmazon. Recently I placed order for tomato puree. When I looked for the instructions to use it, I didn't find any thing clear.
It was only this morning, when viewing a cookery documentary on EPIC TV Channel that I found how tomato puree can be used. Let me share the documentary . Thanks to Ranveer Brar and Sakshi Thanveer.
