[tscii]Dev according to my aunt, mini idlis are made these way.
If you do not like you can use ordinary fermented idli batter.
Dev, I do not know if these idlis are like what you ate in the wedding.
I am sorry if they are not. Kugan98

Note: It seems you can use cinnamon, cardamom in the seasonings if you like.

coriander leaves - 2 tblsp finely chopped

mix with reqd salt and make like rawa dosa, it will be very crispy and very tasty.
same can done with ragi flour instead of wheat flour.
Also for rawa dosa also u can add oats powder. so it is very healthy.

This is exactly how I prepare godhumai dosai @my home... 2 days back also I did this... very healthy... thought of posting it... nalla vela selvi akka-ve post pannittaanga... :D

White khorma:

Today my dear mom prepared this for chappathi, wowwww it was sooooooooo yummmyyyyyyy... :slurp:

Ingredients:

Carrot - 1
Potato - 1
Green Peas - 1 cup
Onion - 3 medium sized
Cocunut - Finely Ground
Ginger
Garlic
Kasa kasa
Pottukadalai maavu/Chick peas flour - 1/2 cup
Green chillies - 4
Oil
Salt

To temper:

Mustard seeds.

Method:

Chop the veggies.

Grind Onion nicely and keep it aside.

Make ginger, garlic and kasa kasa into a fine paste.

Now heat a pan, add oil and temper mustard seeds, add ginger+garlic+kasa kasa paste and fry well.

Add ground onion n cocunut and mix well.

Add chopped carrot and potato. Add salt. Now Pour water till the mixture submerges to about 75%. Close the pad with a lid and cook in low fire.

Meanwhile, take chickpeas flour and make as a paste with water. Now check whether the khorma is cooked well, check the veggies are well cooked. Ensure tht the mixture is watery.

Add the chickpeas paste to the mixture, stir continuously. Now the khorma will start to become thick. (If khorma didnt come as a thick mixture, try adding little chickpeas paste). Thts it remove from fire.

Goes well with Chappathi/Roti/Fried Rice... :thumbsup:

Preparation time: Nearly 30 - 40 mins

Alteration: Instead of green peas, we can add boiled rajma.

kugan,
wheat dosa can be made like rawa dosa, mix the batter, watery and u can make. normally i make this in the iron proper dosa kallu. initially, kallu should be very hot, then slow the fire, then u have to prepare the dosa, we need so much of patience to prepare this. taste is too good.
thanks for trying kugan.
can u please post the receipe of sweet potato chutney.
