Idly and sambar is the best combo like Romeo and Juliet.I would prefer sambar rather than chutneys for Idly/dosai.Mini idly sambar tastes divine when topped with ghee
When I bought whole Senai Kizhangu I used half of it for Senai Kizhangu curry and the other half was sitting for a quite long time.I was thinking to prepare this fry on seeing rak's kitchen.
I love the fresh flavour of mint/pudhina leaves.My hubby does not like mint leaves.He always says that some medicnal smell comes from mint leaves.If I prepare mint leaves chutney I have to eat all by myself.
Idly is a staple food of South India.Left over idlies can be turned into idly upma,podi idly,chilly idly. I survived with idly and podi through out my college days.
Amla raita/Goose berry raita is a best coolant for our body in this summer.Goose berry is loaded with full of vitamin C.Whenever I see fresh Goose berry I will pick it up for making Amla rice/raita.But
Small Onion chutney is a tasty side dish for idly,.dosai.The toughest part is peeling the skin of small onions. Usually I will soak the small onions for 15 mins in water which will be easier for removing the skin.
My mom never cooks Senai Kizhangu. But I have tasted in my hostel during college days. After my marriage when I started to cook I wanted to try my hands on Senai Kizhangu but my hubby was telling no. He was not even allowing me to pick this vegetable from the shop.
