We packed few rice varieties for lunch and had it during our road trip in Attakatti. Usually we make <b><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chitrasfoodbook.com\/2012\/03\/puli-sadham-tamarind-ricewith-stepwise.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Tamarind rice\/Puli sadam <\/a><\/b>and Curd rice for travel. But this time, Sendhil told us to prepare some other rice varieties for a change. So my MIL made this yummy, easy, comforting and a healthy South Indian meal for our travel.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\">I thought of sharing this easy travel food recipes idea with you all. It would be helpful for you to plan and prepare food for your short trip\/Picnic during this Summer holidays. My MIL made Milagu jeeraga sadam\/ Pepper cumin rice, Ellu sadam\/ Sesame seeds rice, Lemon rice and Curd rice along with vadam\/Vathal. We also carried some store bought sweets and snacks to munch during our travel. Lets see how we prepared this simple and yummy travel lunch menu. <\/p>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Travel lunch recipes\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chitrasfoodbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/travel-lunch-recipes-ideas-1.jpg?ssl=1\" style=\"background-image: none; border-bottom: 0px; border-color: initial; border-left: 0px; border-right: 0px; border-style: initial; border-top: 0px; border-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;\" title=\"Travel lunch recipes\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">\nHere is a collage of Valparai-Athirapally Pictures.

Refrigerate the lemon rice paste alone. Keep the powders in an air tight box and store it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>The next day morning as soon as u get up, wash and soak the rice in required water for 20 minutes. Use two cookers. One for curd rice and other one for rice varieties. Soak the rice separately in 2 cookers. Rice will be well soaked by the time u take bath.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Pressure cook the rice for one whistle in low flame and switch off the flame. Remove the lid after the steam is released.  <\/li>\n<li><strong><u>NEVER USE YOUR HANDS FOR MIXING THE RICE. USE LADLE FOR HANDLING THE RICE.<\/u><\/strong><\/li>\n<li>Spread the rice in a plate and add some gingely oil. Take the rice in curd rice cooker and mash it well adding salt and milk. Do not curd when the rice is hot. Add curd after the rice becomes lukewarm. Add the seasoning ingredients for curd rice. Mix well. Add curd and mix well.Check for taste. Do not make the curd rice too thick or too watery. Make it like a creamy consistency so that it won\u2019t become too hard in the afternoon.Check for taste and add more salt if needed. By the time, u mix the curd rice, the rice spread in the plate would have become warm.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<ul>\n<li>Divide the rice into 2 portions. Take one portion of the rice and make lemon rice adding the lemon rice paste.Add gingely oil generously. Check for taste and add more salt &amp; paste if needed. Take the other portion of rice and divide into 2. Use one portion for making ellu sadam and the other one for milagu jeeraga sadam. Add gingely oil for ellu sadam and ghee for milagu jeeraga sadam generously.Do not forget. <strong><u>NEVER USE YOUR HANDS FOR MIXING THE RICE. USE LADLE.<\/u><\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Prepare all the rice varieties and stack in the boxes. Make Neer mor\/Spiced buttermilk (Thalicha more) and store in a bottle. Deep fry Koozh Vadam\/Vathal&nbsp; or papad and mormilagai.Store the vadam in a polythene bag or ziplock covers after it cools down. Pack some pickle in a small container.

If you mix the rice with your hands, it won\u2019t stay good for more than 2 hours in summer.  <\/li>\n<li>Add gingely oil generously while mixing the rice. It helps to prevent the rice from drying.  <\/li>\n<li>Make sure you don\u2019t use raw coconut in the dishes. If you use coconut, roast it well or saute the coconut based dish in oil till all the moisture content is completely gone.  <\/li>\n<li>If you are making curd rice, add less curd and more milk while mixing. It helps the curd rice to set well while eating.Never add curd in hot rice. Carry a bottle of spiced buttermilk or diluted curd to add in the rice while eating. Suppose if the curd rice becomes too thick, you can add buttermilk and bring it to proper consistency.In the buttermilk bottle, put some slitted green chillies, ginger and few curry leaves with mustard seeds seasoning ( make thaalicha neer mor). It helps to keep the buttermilk fresh and tastes less tangy.  <\/li>\n<li>We packed the rice in our steel travelling set. If you don\u2019t have a travelling set, you can pack them in use &amp; throw silver foil packs or plastic boxes. It is better to use banana leaf for packing the food. It gives a nice flavor and a healthy choice as well.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">\nIs it not a happy and comforting meal for your travel ?? <img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Happy\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/us.i1.yimg.com\/us.yimg.com\/i\/mesg\/emoticons7\/1.gif\" style=\"background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;\"> Prepare &amp; Enjoy it !!<\/div>\n<div align=\"center\">\n<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Travel lunch idea - Indian\" border=\"0\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.chitrasfoodbook.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/travel-lunch-recipes-1.jpg?ssl=1\" style=\"background-image: none; border-bottom-width: 0px; border-left-width: 0px; border-right-width: 0px; border-top-width: 0px; border-width: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px;\" title=\"Travel lunch idea - Indian\"><\/div>\n<h5>\n&nbsp; <\/p>\n<\/h5>\n<div class=\"wlWriterEditableSmartContent\" id=\"scid:77ECF5F8-D252-44F5-B4EB-D463C5396A79:7c1ba65f-c4f6-45ad-a8d1-fb6244a57442\" style=\"display: inline; float: none; margin: 0px; padding-bottom: 0px; padding-left: 0px; padding-right: 0px; padding-top: 0px; padding: 0px;\">\nVery good recipes Tags: <a href=\"http:\/\/www.verygoodrecipes.com\/travel+food+ideas\" rel=\"tag\">travel food ideas<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.verygoodrecipes.com\/travel+food+ideas+indian\" rel=\"tag\">travel food ideas indian<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.verygoodrecipes.com\/travel+meal+ideas\" rel=\"tag\">travel meal ideas<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.verygoodrecipes.com\/road+trip+food+ideas\" rel=\"tag\">road trip food ideas<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.verygoodrecipes.com\/food+ideas+for+traveling+in+a+car\" rel=\"tag\">food ideas for traveling in a car<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.verygoodrecipes.com\/homemade+road+trip+food\" rel=\"tag\">homemade road trip food<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.verygoodrecipes.com\/picnic+food+ideas+indian\" rel=\"tag\">picnic food ideas indian<\/a>, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.verygoodrecipes.com\/travel+food+recipes+indian\" rel=\"tag\">travel food recipes indian<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last week we had a trip to Valparai near Pollachi, Tamil nadu for summer vacation in our car.
