Idli As Well As Appe: 1 Batter, 2 Dishes! Meatless Monday.

As a working mom, I am ever striving to feed my family, specially my children good for you lot meals. Weekends, I arrive a quest to brand traditional breakfasts which besides tin forcefulness out larn dejeuner items for the origin twain of days of the week. Most Indian traditional breakfast items require to a greater extent than or less form of batter to hold upwards made ahead of fourth dimension together with fermented. This way you lot select to innovation ahead mid-week equally to when to soak the rice together with lentils together with when to grind the batter together with brand certain in that place is plenty fourth dimension for fermentation. If I am making all this effort, I mightiness equally good brand certain that I select plenty for 2 breakfasts together with many hold upwards fifty-fifty a few of the kiddos lunches through the week! Now obviously, nobody wants to consume the same breakfast 2 days inwards a row!! We all crave variety. So, I became creative together with created variety.

My kids dearest idlis ( steamed rice-lentil cakes) that are normally served amongst sambar. When I brand idli batter, I brand certain that I brand plenty batter for 2 breakfasts! However the mo day, instead of making idlis, I brand appos ( paniyaram ) inwards a appe pan or ablesevier pan. Making appe is besides a smashing role for idli/ dosa batter that has gone sour. I role the same chutney for both. You could fifty-fifty larn creative amongst the appe past times adding chopped onions, coriander leaves, bits of ginger together with light-green chillies together with may hold upwards fifty-fifty to a greater extent than or less finely chopped veggies! It comes out delicious!

Today, I am going to part the recipe for this batter together with the technique for both.

You tin forcefulness out abide by the recipe for the idlis here together with the technique for appe here.

This is perfect for the lunch-box for the kids. You tin forcefulness out fifty-fifty brand mini-idlis instead of the regular big ones.

You tin forcefulness out brand this chore easier past times ensuring that you lot liberally grease the idli mold amongst butter or ghee( clarified butter), which besides gives the idlis a overnice flavor.
