    Idiyappan - as the Nagarathaar call it!!

    This is idealfor breakfast.
    This can be easilymade with store-bought idiyappam flour.
    Now to make idiyappam, take 1 cup flour, salt & 1 tsp oil in a vessel ready.

    Boil 2 cups of water.

    When the water starts boiling well, remove & add to the flour, mixing well till a soft dough is formed.

    Add water gradually & carefully so that just the right amount of water is added.

    Press in “ idiappam moulds” into small circles in a steaming plate & steam for 5 mts. Avoid clutter, but each steaming plate can take 4 mould-fulls.

    As soon as you take out of steamer, transfer to cold water in a bowl. Separate the strands with hand & drain completely.

    Sweet idiyappan:
    Add moong dhal (cooked grainy for just one whistle & drained), sugar to taste, grated coonut and cardamom powder.

    Savory idiyappan:
    Smear just 2 tsp of buttermilk to soften ir. Temper in 1 tsp oil, red chillies, mustard seeds, hing & curry leaves. Add very little salt.

    Stuffed Poha Buns-Ideal to carry for picnics

    For poha buns, the batter has to be thick like idli batter.
    Pour one ladleful of batter on a hot tava & keep some filling on it.
    Now cover, by pouring a little less than a ladleful of batter over it & dribble oil around.
    Cover & cook till the underside becomes golden brown.
    After covering & cooking, the underside would have become golden brown.
    The top side should also look, partially cooked & not raw.
    Turn over & pour 1 tsp oil around.
    There is no need to cover now.
    When the underside becomes, golden brown, remove.

    Banana Dosai With green chillies – Make this without oil & Serve with Vegetable Stew

    Raw rice - 1 cup (any ordinary variety is good)

    Ripe bananas - 5 (medium)


    Grated coconut - 2 tbsp

    Green chillies - 5-6 (or to taste)

    Salt

    Soak rice for one hour.

    Drain, add grated bananas, coconut, green chillies & salt to a fine paste in the mixi.

    The batter can be of the usual dosa consistency.

    Keep a non stick tava on the stove & when it gets heated, wipe with a folded tissue, smeared in little oil.

    Spread the dosa, keep the flame on medium & cover with a lid.

    It is done very fast.

    Turn over for a minute & remove.

    These dosais are soft, white & delicious.

    Bananas give softness to the dosai & the sweetness does not stand out because of the presence of green chillies.

    Milk Idli - simple and delicious!!

    This tastesgood when hot or cold. It is best eaten with a spicy side-dish, NI or SI.
    The main tip is, keep the mixture inside the steamer only when water starts boiling vigorously. Otherwise, the rava will sink and the idli will be hard.
    The steaming time varies with the height of the vessel in which the mixture is steamed. I used a plate, 1" in height & steamed for 15 mtes on high. Suitably increase the timings for 2" or 3" high containers.
    Make sure you pour enough water in the steamer.

    Raw rice rava - 125 gms

    Milk - 500 ml

    Salt - a pinch.

    Mix together, pour in a well greased plate or vessel & steam for 15 mtes.
