After baking with two ingredients, I am making a traditional recipe for the third day. For this week of BM, the theme is quite interesting. Two bloggers exchange ingredients through mail and we are supposed to cook with the ingredients which we received. I was paired with PJ and the third ingredient she sent me […]
Today another week in the weekly blogging marathon starts and I have selected a very interesting theme. Cook for one is the theme and to be frank, I have never attempted cooking for one. My hubby teases me that I have a large hand I always end up cooking for 6 persons when we are […]
Rava idli / Ravai idli is my choice for the alphabet R in the A-Z Tamil cuisine recipe marathon I am doing this month. This is a really simple dish to make and makes a filling breakfast. I have done Barnyard Millet Rava Idli two months back but never tried the authentic rava idli. When […]

Yeast is used to ferment the batter and so the batter is ready within 2 hours after grinding. I was going through the recipe after grinding the rice […]
Idli upma is one of the great ways to use the leftover idlis. Mom used to prepare this often and it was my favourite during school days. After marriage I completely forgot about it. This makes a great filling dish when your kid comes home after school. When I asked hubby whether he wanted idli […]

In the last post I explained about getting the perfect batter for idlis. the next step is to steam the idlis. For making idlis we need idli mould known as idli thattu. After […]
When Satya announced her event, I wanted to try this technique. I have seen this in cakes, but for idlis, I was not sure of the outcome. I didn’t want to use only food colours. So I decided upon beetroot and carrot along with a few drops of food colour. The first idli I prepared […]
