Ekadasi vratham is observing total fast (suddha upavasam) on Ekadasi tithi. Those who cannot observe a complete fast, the elders and children are permitted to observe this vratham by taking fruits and milk. People fast on 'Ekadasi' day and have 'Dwadasi Paranai' (special food or thali) on the next day which levels the acidity and the menu by itself is fantastically medicated. We don't use tamarind for this thaligai(samayal). The menu is as under: Click on the numbered recipe names for the recipe links. Pics of the recipes are towards the end of this post.
1. Rice
2. Mor kozhambu
3. Agathi keerai kariamudhu (poriyal)
4. Poricha kootu
5. Poricha sathumudhu(Poricha rasam)
6. Nellikkai pachadi or Nellikai thogayal
7. Akkaravadisal or any kannamudhu (payasam)
8. Sundakkai vathal fried in ghee
9. Curd
