Rava Idli

Rava Idli

This is one of the healthiest and tastiest breakfast which is loved and appreciated by my family members.  It is one of the  popular South Indian breakfast items. 

This is prepared with rava/ semolina, curd & other spices and herbs. 

I prefer adding grated carrot to the idli mixture. You can add any of your favourite veggies or can skip this too.  You can add few dry fruits of your choice too. 

This dish is best enjoyed with sambar or chutney. But i prefer this plain as it has all the required spices , herbs and flavourful seasoning. 

This yummy, nutritious snack could be the best choice for your kids lunch box or for breakfast/ evening tea. 

This is an instant snack which doesn't need any fermentation or prior preparation.  It could be prepared easily and quickly if all the ingredients are kept ready.

Mutton Green Masala This is one of the oldest & most common recipes of Mangalorean cuisine.  This quick & easy curry is a perfect blend of aromatic spices and has a freshness and flavours of herbs like coriander & mint leaves.  This flavourful green curry goes extremely well with sanna, neeru dosa/ panpole, appams and even with roti, chapathi or boiled rice. My family loves it with soft silky neeru dosas/panpole.  The soup of mutton makes this curry so glossy ,  flavourful and aromatic.  This same masala can be used for chicken too.  Please note: Use spices as per your preference.  Cooking time of mutton depends on the quality of meat. Tender meat cooks faster.  Recipe: For 1/2 kg Mutton 2 potatoes, 2 carrots ( optional) Ingredients for Masala: 5 green chillies 1" ginger 6-8 flakes of garlic 1 /2 tsp pepper 1/2 tsp jeera 1/4 tsp coriander seeds 5 cloves 1" cinnamon 1/4 tsp fennel seeds 1 star anise 1 cardamom 1/2 tsp poppy seeds 3 cashewnuts ( optional
