Rava Idli Product Review

Rava Idlis are my favourite breakfast/tiffin. Guess what these are from its GITS instant mix.

The idlis came out perfect and tastes good....since I like Asafotida/Hing flavour a lot, added a pinch of it. This pack needs just water to mix to make idlis.

My suggestion is if you have sour curd/plain yogurt at home you can also try it with that too.

I served it with coconut chutney. My family liked a lot.

Will post the chutney recipe soon.

Onion Tomato Chutney/Thogaiyal and Awards!!!

Onion Tomato Chutney is very tasty and simple. This chutney is quick and easy to prepare.

Ingredients
Onion - 2nos
Tomato - 1 no
Urad dal(Whole/split) - 1/4 cup
Curry leaves - few
Dry Red Chilli - 2nos (As per your taste)
Oil - 1/2 tspn
Salt

Preparation Method

Heat a Kadai, add oil and add urad dal saute till brown. Transfer it to a plate and allow it to cool.

In the same kadai, saute the rest of the ingredients one by one except salt. Allow it to cool.

Grind the urad dal first to 2 whips then add all other ingredients with salt and grind to fine paste.

Tempering is optional I have not done.

Onion Tomato Chutney is ready to serve. This is perfect chutney for Idli, Dosa or sidedish for Kootu rice too.
