hey sridhar...
looks like you haven;t had idlis for ages!where are you from and where do you live now???
nandhini:
I'm ready to send you the K. idly recipe!! In return, send the Hot Idlies
to me too!! :-) Ilavasa Inaippu: Rava Idly Recipe!! :-))
Sridhar, aahaa !! Kothamalli & mint chutney maradhuteengaley!!
Adutha Item ennavo?
Idli made on the very first day after it ferments is awesomeeee.. that Idli is the besttttttt and softest... and like most of you have said, we need to eat it with Vengaaya sambhaar and 2 kinds of chutneys... yummmmmmm ....try this easy oothappam recipe with left over idli maavu ::))
Grind the idli maavu once more in a mixer and use it as the dough.
Chop 1 capsicum, 1 onion, 1 tomato, 4 green chillies, and some cilantro. Heat a kadaai (or any thick bottomed pan would work) and pour a t.spoon of oil and rub it with a piece of some vegetable (I use bounty!). Once the pan it hot, pour a karandi full of batter and flatten it out (do not make it very thin). Then sprinkle the chopped vegetables and cilantro ( be as generous as you like ::)) and let it cook on one side. Turn over and let the other side cook - of course use oil! Eat this with Tomato+vengaaya chutneyy -- yummmmm
nandini: check this thread out for Kancheevaram idli recipe.....

OK guys...lets talk about dosas now....how many kinds of dosas have you eaten?
I'll start with the simple plain golden brown dosa.....served with hot sambhar....and a cup of wonderful 'Thengaa chutney'.....and also the fav. 'Molagaa podi'.
IR: why don't you tell Nandhini about my (in?)famous MOR DOSAI? ;-))) I'm self-restraint...athanala, romba koochama irukku!! ;-)))
:::)) keems - am not game for this - can't take the blame for any Catastrophes arising there from :::))))
Paavam - dont hurt mankind like this keems ::))

Is this something like avasara dosai???
Do You want to make idlis in 45 seconds?
Take a microwavable Egg Pouch, Pour the dough and keep it in the microwave oven for for 45 seconds ,your steaming idlis (2 at a time ) Ready!! to swallow with Sambar or Chutney.
Can anyone send me receipe for Cuddapa a side dish for Idli like sambar.
cudappa??? oor per than theriyum!
Very tasty Idli recipe for USA tamils:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++
1 cup - ulundu
4 cup - long grain rice
There is trick in soaking the rice. Boil water and take it out of the stove and pour the rice(before soak) and keep it for 7 minutes. change the water (cold) and soak it for 6 to 7 hours.
1 tsp - cooked rice.
After 7 hours of soaking grind it and allow to ferment.
Note: This is the best receipe i ever had. Try and let me know.
-Dolly
Can someone please tell me
a) how to make the idli dough from idli rava (available in indian groceries) .
b) receipe for miLagAi podi

Dolly,
Thanks for a great recipe. Will try it out soon.
Bala,
what is a microwave egg pouch??? Is it a device to use to make poached eggs?
Sappattu Raman:
Soak 1 measure Urad dhal and grind into a fine paste....add 1 1/2 measures of iddli rava to it...add salt and mix it with reqd. water.
Leave it to ferment.
Recipe for molagapodi: Before i give my recipe...try checking this out...
www.sysindia.com/kitchen
Its a nice site on tamil cooking. You'll like it.
nandini
thanks so much ...., I will try your receipe.
Menaka, you can get the egg pouch in any department stores that carry kitchen utensils. esp in walmart, kitchen etc.
Dolly
has any one tried making oothappam with molagai podi on it
try this
saute chopped onions
cut some coriander leaves
chop some tomatoes
keep your gun powder(m. podi) in one side
you can call this south indian pizza
pour the batter on the preheated tava
don't spread it too thin
spoon the oil as you do for dosa
diet concious folks could use PAM spray
for guilt free oothappam
just enough for an oothappam
top it with the onions,tomatoes,c.leaves and the gun powder
cover it with a lid for 40 seconds
remove the lid and flip the oothappam
cook it till done
its yummy
coconut chutney would go great with it
Hi, aarthi Oothappam batter = dosa batter ??
yep it's all the same
I use the same for idli,dosa,oothappamand vellai paniyaram
idli is great on the first day
oothappam is great when the batter is sour so you can make it the next day
What about the 'adai' ? What is the best accompaniment for these, other than butter ?
nado...try vellam&ney....i mean jaggery and ghee....nothing can beat that combo!
nandini/nado:
Vellam is the untimate choice but i like Vengaya Chutney also. Aviyal is the traditional accompaniment.
hey...narayanan...i have never had aviyal and adai.....are you from palghat???
sooda Murungak keerai Aadai-la nei & Aviyal combo..aaha..:-P Adaikku any MOAR' kalantha(like moar kuzhambu) -would be better accompaniment!
Paruppu rasa mandi kooda!!
Is this jaggery = brown sugar ? Also is Adai similar to attu or Pesarattu ? What are the batters involved ? Adai's might be more greenish than idlies ?? I've heard that there are some mango pickles which use the thing called 'gudh', like a sweet and sour taste, not sure of origins.
nandini:
I am a "Marath Thamizhan" :-))) Adai Aviyal is very famous in chettinad type of food...(karaikkudi)
I did not know that,Narayanan...Must try that...
Why don't you share some more of Chettinad recipes???
Nandini:
Not very good at recipes... will try to get some... ::-))))
does anyone have a grinder at home and you have still not been able to get good idlies?
I found out the ultimate recipe
just let me know if anyone's interested.

Arthi - please post your recipe for "the best idlis in town" ::)))
Snehidhane thaangal endha ooro? angae onnum thaai naattu saappaadu kittaadho?? :::))))

If you only have a mixie,try this one out.
take 2 cups of rice and put it in a heated pan and lightly toast it till it all gets hot and not burnt up.
now to this add water.
and keep it aside.
now add just plain long grain rice to the above treated rice and soak it for 4 hours.
soak 1cup of ulundhu for just 2 hours.
grind the ulundhu to a fine paste and empty it in a bowl.
Then you grind the rice
mix it with the ulundhu and put some salt .
leave it over night.
while grinding ulundhu gradually add water.
the next morning when it is all fermented and risen.
the batter is ready to make idlies.
instead of applying oil in the idli thattu try spraying PAM non-stick cooking spray and then pour the batter.
once the steam starts coming leave it for 7 minutes on med-hi before switching it off, not more not less.
you must get great idlies.
the recipe is slightly different for grinders.
Can anybody give me a recipe for making nice crisp dosa, like the ones we get in Indian hotels.
Reena
Aarthi,
