Quinoa is a very nutritious grain with high protein. It has high dietary fiber, magnesium and iron. It is a nice substitute for rice. I love the crunchy taste when cooked.
Coriander Leaves / Kothamalli Thalai
Mini Idli and Sambar
When I think of mini idli, the first thing that comes to mind is the tasty ghee filled mini idli with sambar from Saravana Bhavan/ Ananda bhavan. I don’t think there’s a better way to eat mini idlis other than soaked in sambar. You can make varieties based on the ingredients you have at home like masala idli, fried idli, pepper fried idili etc…
