Idly Fry- quick snack

Idly or Dosa is a staple dish in any South Indian household and in mine its mostly during weekends. Its a special breakfast for us on a sat or sun. But most of the time, while making idly I end up having extra made which never gets consumed even the next day as my family prefers to have dosa the next day. This was the same situation when we were growing up and my mother would somehow have a minimum of 5 idly leftovers. She came up with this recipe (don't know from where she got the idea). But it was a hit in our house. In-fact just so to get these idly fries in the evening we would ask mom to make extra in the morning. Well, I started doing same with my family and I must say they too love it. Its super quick and yum. Just 4 ingredients and yay you are done. So lets see hows its done 

 Ingredients : 
  • Leftover Idly- whatever you have
  • Oil - for frying
  • Red chilli powder- 1/2 tsp
  • Salt- as per taste 
Method: 
  1. Cut the leftover idly into 4 chunks or in any shape you prefer to 
  2. Keep a frying kadai or utensil, add oil for frying
  3. Once the oil is hot enough, fry the cut idly's till its golden brown
  4. Transfer these to a mixing bowl and add red chilli powder and salt, 
  5. Give it a nice quick mix and they are ready to go. 
Notes: 
  • You can add chaat masala also to it if you like

Home-Made Nuts Powder

Home-Made Nuts powder is something which I have been making since Jeremy was a 9 month old. Initially to introduce nuts, I used to powder each nut separately (one day each) and mix with every food. As he grew older I realized he hates whole nuts especially Almonds and Pistachios. Cashews are still ok with him provided they are salted ones. But still he wasn't consuming much. Thats when I decided to continue making the essential and important nut powder. He hates the fact that nuts or chunky powder has been added and just rejects the whole meal even though its tasty and likes it. But this fine nut powder is a winner and I add it up in almost everything on a daily basis.  So this nut powder is perfect for fussy kid like mine or if you just wanna introduce nuts to your kids diet, this is a good solution. Its pretty simple and fuss free.   The powder is suitable for babies over 8 months, but before you feed this to your baby, make sure that baby has already tried the powdered version o

Easy Sambar (without tamarind)

Sambar is a must in most south Indian families and like others even I have grown up having dosa- sambhar and chutney's. A Sambar is a lentil based vegetable stew or curry cooked with dal/lentils along with some veggies and some tamarind pulp. There are coconut based sambar as well and each region has its own sambar variation. In my house, we all prefer quick meals, but yet tasty. My mother who was a working lady would make elaborate meals only during holidays or special occasions. Rest all the meals would be quick yet very very tasty. This is one such sambar which my mom has taught me and is super quick.  This doesn't use tamarind like in a traditional sambar and gets its tangy flavour from tomatoes. Its quick, one pot sambar recipe. Lets dive in and see how its done: Ingredients: Serves 3 1/2 to 1 cup Tur Dal/ Yellow Lentils 2-3 tomatoes chopped (depending on size) 1/2 cup Veggies each of your choice cubed Turmeric powder A pinch of Asafoetida/ Hing 1/2 tsp chilli powder Salt
