What role do side dishes play to help have a perfect meal???

-

Just imagine and compare our food with the movies…just for fun but it sounds logical sometimes…. like how we categorized movies as south Indian, north Indian, international movies, etc. In our food also we have categories of south Indian food, north Indian food, international food etc.

Comparing like this we get to know and realize that we always give more importance to our lead actors or actress in movies …as in our meal like a main course or main food. But here we forget to give credit to side actors like in our food side dishes as both play an important role in movies or food….as our side dish also contribute to make our meal a perfect meal.


So here we want to give credit to side dishes by explaining how important it is in all types of cuisines in our meal.

What are side dishes???
Side dishes are those foods which is a combination to eat or to have with other food or meal.

In this category some of the common and favorite categories of Indian side dishes are….
Chutney recipes
Pickle recipes
Sauce recipes
Raita recipes
Curry recipes
Salad recipes


These are the some recipes usually, which does not come in the popular category of food. But these are one category of recipes which are too essential to become a complete meal or a perfect meal.

For example chutney recipes….This category of recipes are very famous among side dishes. Because these are one of the staple food with many famous SouthIndian breakfasts like idli, dosa, vada, uttppa, etc.
With these famous breakfast recipes chutney recipes are almost a compulsory side dish which doubles the taste of many breakfasts.
In them some of the famous chutney recipes are…

Peanut chutney
Mint chutney
Ginger chutney
Red coconut chutney
Shallot chutney
Dates tamarind chutney
Coconut chutney (kayi chutney)

In these mentioned side dishes, it not only enhances our meal taste but they also have healthy benefits for ex. Mint chutney

A Side Dish which is an all-rounder Chutney!!! Chutney which can be a good combination for both Breakfast and Snack Recipes and it is also Pudina Chutney. It is one of the most popular and familiar Chutney Recipe of India.

It is prepared with mainly mint leaves which are a good source for digestion. This recipe’s taste is generally hot and spicy, which can be famously used with breakfast like Dhokla, Idli, Dosa Puri, and Snacks like Vada, Masala Vada, Samosa. It can also be used as a spread on Sandwich and Kati Rolls.



These side dishes are not only to be had with breakfast, these are also used with main foods such as Lunch/Dinner whether it maybe vegetarian recipes or non-vegetarian recipes. Especially with non-veg food because our Indian non-veg food are bit spicy so to cool down the spiciness, we have many raita recipes.

Raita recipes also come in the category of side dishes which are all mostly healthy and less spicy recipes. Here are some of the famous raita recipes

Boondi raita
Onion raita
Onion tomato raita
Cucumber raita

Here I like to explain why these raitas play an important role in non-veg recipes take an example of one recipe called Onion tomato raita


The recipes like Pulao, Methi Rice, Ghee Rice, biryani or any One Pot Meals are normally fluffy, spicy and delicious and these types of dishes need a comforting Side Dish .So here is a Raita Recipe called Onion Tomato Raita, which suits with these food very well.



It is one of the simple and healthy side dish to try out with any Indian meal, especially with Spicy Food. Try this cool and refreshing side dish recipe.

Like this there are some recipes which are very essential food in our meal especially in Indian food because most of our meal are spicy, tangy and flavorful and our side dishes goes well with the foods like rice recipes, biryani recipes,chapati ,roti and with all non-veg recipes.

I hope you all do give credit to side dishes as much as the main food recipes!!!
