Rava Idli

Rava Idli

Idlies are a rich and authentic Southern Indian breakfast staple and are much loved world-over. Traditionally served on a banana leaf with sambhar and chutney, these basic idlies are made with a batter of urid dhal (split black gram dhal) and sooji/rava or coarse semolina. With all the modern adaptations to an idli, these Rava Idlies are made without rice and still hold a special place in my heart, as they are the idlies that taste like the real basic idli of my childhood.

Semolina or Sooji Upma

Semolina or Sooji Upma

A basic upma (South Indian breakfast) is really delicious but why have the same same every time when you can add some colourful vegetables with this super delicious spin on an old favourite!  This upma is based on a traditional recipe but paired with vegetables such as brussels sprouts and zucchini, as they not only add colour but when sauteed bring out the sweet and nutty tones.  It’s my go-to breakfast with a combination of textures, earthy and savoury flavours plus the added benefit of many nutrients including fibre, vitamins and minerals
