Cooking on Amavasai day
Hello
Quite disappointed to see rather mundane responses - evidently most of you who responded have very little idea. I was looking for some inspired or comprehensive postings.
We all know that 'English' vegetables are to be avoided, as well as Onion and Garlic.
In fact the recommended cooking says even asafoetida, chillies (green or red), dhania (dry or green) etc are to be avoided. And so is any dhal other than Moong (paasi paruppu). Among spices only Mustard, Urad Dhal and Jeera are allowed, along with Curry leaf. Recommended vegetables are Banana raw, Seppankizhangu, Ladies finger, cucumber.
I would appreciate if someone could improve on the above.
Regards
