Kuganka I tried your vendi stir fried. It was such a nice combo for rice. Thanks for the nice recipe, very simple and easy. Hope to do it more often. I am sure we can try the same style with other veggies too. Rose

Here is the measurement for kambu/cholam dosai that we usually prepare...

3 heaped cups kambu/cholam
1 heaped cup idli rice
1 cup urad dhal(not heaped)
1 tsp methi seeds

Soak everything overnight and grind to a slightly coarse batter. Add salt to taste.
Let ferment for 8 hrs.

U can use this batter to make idlis as well as dosais. i presonally prefer dosais than idlis...

My dear friends, a dish that was served in Kerala for us.

Ingredients:

1 cup of chopped banana stem, soaked in light butter milk.

1 tsp coconut oil
¼ tsp mustard seeds
1 sprig curry leaves
Salt to taste

Grind coarsely:
¼ cup grated coconut
5 shallots
1 tsp chilly powder
½ tsp cumin seeds
¼ tsp tumeric powder

Method:

Put the cut banana stem in a pot, pour water just to cover it.
Simmer on low heat and cook. Remove.

Heat a wok with the oil, add in the mustard seeds to crackle.
Add in the curry leaves, now add in the ground ingredients.
Stir fry the paste well for few minutes.

Now add in the boiled banana stem, stir fry till the water dries up.
Add enough salt, stir fry once more well, remove and serve with rice
