🌿 Purattasi & Vegetarian Living
Purattasi is traditionally a month of devotion, simplicity and self-discipline. Many Tamil families follow a vegetarian diet, especially on Purattasi Saturdays, as part of this practice.
Going vegetarian doesn’t mean compromising on protein. Make sure your plate includes:
* 🫘 Dal & legumes – toor dal, moong dal, chana, rajma
* 🌱 Soy – tofu, tempeh, soy chunks
* 🥛 Dairy – curd, paneer, milk
* 🥜 Nuts & seeds – peanuts, almonds, sesame, pumpkin seeds
* 🌾 Whole grains – quinoa, oats, millets
* 🥗 Traditional options – sundal, adai, pesarattu
The idea: simple food, adequate nutrition, mindful eating. 🌱
