Rava Dosai






Rawa Dosai is a south indian specialty. Making rawa dosai is an art. It takes little practice to get the perfect  dosai. This is not only my favorite dish but also my entire family's. Hot rawa dosai with chutney and sambar is just a sure hit breakfast. There are many recipes for rawa dosai, but this is an easy recipe which I obtained after so many trial and error. Try out this recipe.



Ven Pongal



Ven pongal the most famous Tiffin variety. Vadai, sambar and chutney is the most ideal to serve along with ven pongal. This has been the favorite breakfast for my father and my husband especially on a weekend holiday morning. This recipe is a diet conscious recipe as only little ghee is required to make pongal
You need
Raw rice                1 cup
Moong dhal           1/4 cup

Nagore Vaada




If you have leftover pulao in your house then vaadaa is the perfect  snack to make. I learnt this recipe from my mother-in-law who makes very tasty vaadaas. This dish is very famous in roadside shops in Nagore, a coastal town in Tamilnadu. Its crispy outer and soft inner makes it irresistible. Though it is very tasteful with prawn, you can also make without prawns.
