Tirunelveli Getti Chutney - Travel Chutney for Idli - Travel Coconut Chutney with green chillies

Tirunelveli style Getti chutney recipe with full video and step by step instructions. We usually call this chutney as travel chutney because we pack this chutney in a plantain leaf for idlies for our train travel. The aroma of the chutney when packed in plantain leaf will be awesome. 



Few years ago many of us always pack food with us when we travel, whether it's a train travel or small day trip because there is a specific set of food items we have to eat while traveling. So it is essential to eat healthy food you travel. Idlies along with this getti chutney are one of the best food items to pack for travelling. We can prepare this chutney with red chillies also. This chutney method is similar to the basic coconut chutney. This getti chutney is ground with less amount of water and then we have to saute the chutney along with the thalippu vadagam until the chutney  gets thick. As we are adding thalippu vadagam in the chutney you will get a nice flavour and tastier than the regular coconut chutney. If you do not have thalippu vadagam replace it with finely chopped small onions (shallots). This chutney stays fresh for 10 to 12 hours and is best suited for packing.

Wheat Rava Kichadi With Vegetables - Samba Godhuma Rava Kichadi - Healthy Breakfast

A healthy diabetic friendly kichadi recipe made with wheat rava. You can start your breakfast with a cup of this healthy kichadi as it includes carrot, green peas and beans which blend together beautifully with wheat rava. A handful of fresh green peas gives a slightly sweet taste for the kichadi.  There are two main varieties of wheat rava - medium coarse and fine coarse. Fine coarse wheat rava is my favourite for kichadi and upma dishes. Medium coarse wheat rava is perfect for sweet pongal and payasam. Both types require more time to cook when compared to regular white rava. Fine coarse wheat rava doesn't need to be roasted for this kichadi. To cook 1 cup fine coarse wheat rava you will need 3 cups of water. After preparing the kichadi you should let it stand for 15 minutes, covered and undisturbed for a perfect fluffy texture. And once you find how to cook wheat rava perfectly, you will be making it regularly for your breakfast.  Check out my other tiffin recipes here Idli ...
