My cousin asked me for some quick recipes :) well here are some instant posts just for u :) Mrs. U :)
Rava idli, one of my most favourite diet foods:) Its quick and easy to prepare. Tastes yum!,
Goes well with absolutely anything at home. Just a sprinkle of podi powder, any kind of chutney, rasam ,sambar, dal.. jus dip it with anything or not its simple flavours would make you want it more.
