Pepper dosa

Pepper dosa - easy and healthy breakfast dish. In South India major types of dosa are prepared using  rice and urid dal. This pepper dosa is also prepared with rice and urid dal but instead of white urid dal i have used black split urid dal.The dosa is flavoured with black pepper powder and to add some extra taste I have added finely chopped onions, fresh grated coconuts, curry leaves and cooked with coconut oil. The consistency of the batter should be thin like rava dosa batter. After grinding the batter you can immediately prepare the dosa and no need to ferment it. The black urid dal and black pepper powder are the main ingredients which give a unique taste for this dosa. The perfect accompaniment for this dosa are coconut chutney or curry leaves chutney.

Idli & Batter for Idli and Dosa

Idlies are an excellent and healthy breakfast in our South Indian cuisine. From babies to elderly people idlies are considered as one of the best food which are easily digested.  As you all know idlies are the comfort food in all the aspects such as healthy, easy, simple and quick.


Now we will see how to grind the idli batter for soft and fluffy idlies. Like most people, I learnt how to prepare soft and perfect idlies after so many practices.


Soaking
For table top wet grinders I suggest to soak the rice and dals for 5 to 6 hours. The idea behind this is that it grinds smoothly and so in the end you can get perfectly ground rice batter and dal batter. I learned this technique after so many experiments. If you soak the rice and dals overnight and grinding them in the morning, the batter ferments properly. You can also follow this technique if your fermentation process is not quick. Grinding
Usually I grind the rice first and then grind the urid dal. You can grind as you wish. For grinding…

Broccoli Masala

This is a restaurant style gravy using simple cooking methods. The broccoli also tastes amazing in the creamy gravy.Broccoli has a wide variety of nutritional and medicinal health benefits. Try to consume this vegetable atleast twice in a month. Always avoid overcooking broccoli as half of its nutritional substances may be destroyed in the process. If you want to make a mild gravy, just leave the fresh cream out and you'll still have a wonderful restaurant style gravy. Don't forget to add the kasuri methi leaves because it ties all the flavours together wonderfully. Feel free to adjust the chilly powder, garamasala powder and ginger garlic paste to fit your taste. When blanching the broccoli florets it's always a good idea to keep an eye on them because the temperature in the boiling water can change the blanching time quite a bit. If you can't get the broccoli, or it's too expensive then use the button mushrooms for the above masala. ( Saute the mushroom…

Tomato Coconut Chutney

Tomato coconut chutney is a popular chutney in restaurants served for idly, dosa, rava dosa and also for starters like panniyaram and vada. Personally, I like the combination of tomatoes with fresh grated coconuts. Preparing this chutney with small onions and red ripe tomatoes will give the best flavour and taste. Try to saute the onions and tomatoes on low heat until it turns brown. Avoid using coconut powder for this chutney. Chutney with fresh coconuts will taste excellent. Here is the recipe for Tomato coconut chutney.
