So many things to cook

I am planning a Mega Meal on saturday for my friends. I chose the following recipes.
Beerakaya pesarapappu kootu
Dondakaya Kobbari Vepudu
Tomato Nuvvula Pachadi
Beerakaya Kothimira Pachadi
Kothimira Perugu Pachadi
Tomato Perugu Pachadi
Moong dal payasam
Gaajar ka doodh
Vankaya Pachi pulusu

This is the wish list. Lets see how it goes.

PS:
9/19

A visit to the grocery store, changed the course. I could not find Dondakaya. I should have looked for it in frozen, but that wouldnt do it for me. The night before some more recipes seem interesting. Given so many choices, it is quite an accomplishment to choose. You are hearing from a person who buys a like dress in all the colors available. that should be apparent from the above list of two pachadis, two perugu pachadis. Sense prevails. In the end I made

Egg biryani and chose to make the remaining stuff on another day.

I have liked the softness of moong dal as a child. It feels good to reproduce that taste. Its the melting golden dal. I have been ignorant of ridge gourds star status in pachadi, which turns out excellent in all its form - inside or outside.

  Healthy protein cabbage After the onion gravy success, I was excited to find out who is next in the boxring. A cabbage. I have  afound a way to make my family love it - a lentil eg urad or moong (fried initially, adds crunch - learned from a friend's sister visiting then) in copious amounts and mandolin sliced cabbage I wanted to see if there was a different way to make it. I saw this split chickpea addition to it and wondered why I didnt think of it before. I know of a recipe with soaked split chickpea and onion curry (diced onions, but now I am thinking another recipe would be to give the special treatment to onions with a blend and then fried well - elevates any main ingredient even simple one like soaked split chickpea. oh no, now reimaging all the great food could have been if done well - thinking chole curry -- its like once you know a mistake and have tons and tons of papers, to go back and correct). In some months, when for religious reasons, people dont eat onion, t...
