This was a breakfast from last Sunday when it was sunny and bright. The radiant looking chutney powder is a treasured gift sent by my dear blogger friend Vani of Mysoorean. I had won a Giveaway at her blog for a Cookbook but when the large sized package arrived from her it contained lot more than the book. There was a sweet chutney powder which mixed with ghee and smeared on soft Idlis makes it divine, an authentic Sambhar powder which I have been using prolifically for sambhar and non-sambhars the last few weeks and a Bisibele Bhaath powder which I am saving for a rainy day.
Thank you dear Vani for the spices and more. It is moments like this that make my hanging around here and telling the kids "Mommy is working" totally worthwhile.
Oh and the Idli is made from a batter that my neighbor Aunty sent.
"No breakfast is better than the one in which you have done little more than put idlis to steam and photographed them afterwards." ~ my motto
Even I luv idli prepared from home made batter,.:) platter looks so inviting,..
ReplyDeleteI've been trying out different kind of podis from blogs these days. Must ask Vani for the recipe of the chutney powder.
