WONDERS WITH IDLY :))

For dinner My avva (grandma) used to make idly every day. Me and
my brother hate idly like anything. Now my kids are attached to
idly. :)) I do present them idly in different forms. They like
and enjoy them.

let us see KUTLY :)

This is idly also called button idly. But in our house it got
the name of KUTLY.

steam the idly in button idly plate.

Make sambar. While u r serving let the kutlies swim in the sambar.
Garnish with coriander leafs. U can also add some ghee on top of
it. YUMMY YUMMY kutly... tasty tasty. :))

Note: Instead of sambar u may also use rasam. Then it is rasam idly. :))

WONDER WITH BREAD

Bread is a handy food. Easy to digestion. That is why doctors
advice us to take bread as a diet when we fall ill.
Normally we make sandwich out of bread. If we have bread
at home we can do wonder.

Instead of white bread use more of brown bread or multigrain
breads. Its healthy.
