Sathumaavu Muttai Dosai

Sathumaavu is a powder made with lots of nuts and grains for young children. You can read all about it in this post on homemade sathumaavu powder.

I normally make sathumaavu kanji for them but they are not fond of eating it, I have to force feed the kanji. So I try to include the powder in other ways too. I make this sathumaavu dosa, which works out very well, I also make this egg dosa for my husband. This makes the breakfast very filling and healthy.

Mudakathan Keerai Muttai Dosai

Mudakathan keerai muttai dosai is just like the normal muttai dosai. It is healthy and tastes no different than the normal dosai, if not much better, except for the color. I make mudakathan keerai dosai atleast once a week since I have this keerai growing wildly in my little kitchen garden.

I have already posted a Mudakathan Keerai Dosai recipe. This keerai is very healthy just like all the other keerai/greens variety. Mudakathan keerai is called as Balloon Vine Leaves in English. It has anti inflammatory properties and it's rich in anti oxidants too. You can make a stir fry with this keerai too but I find this the easiest way to make my kids eat the keerai. Adding an egg to it makes it even more healthy and makes it a wonderful option for breakfast.

Idli Batter in Mixee

My husband and my father in law are such big fans of idli from murugan idli kadai! Me not so much as I don't like idlies too much. But it is true that the idli from this shop is so soft and spongy that even a person like me, who is not fond of idli's, can be tempted to have some.
So when I came across this recipe (which claimed to be murugan idli kadai idli recipe), I wanted to give it a try. I'm sure no hotel will divulge their trademark recipe secrets and I'm also sure there is more to the softness of the hotel's idli than what we are using here. Having said that, this idli did come out quite soft. 
Of course, I still prefer my original recipe for soft idlis but if I want some idli batter quickly then I most definitely give this a go and it always works out well.
I made this in my mixee, you can make it in the grinder too. Probably the grinder will give an even more softer idlis.

Idli Dosa Batter | How to make Soft Idli

The most famous South Indian breakfast is the Idli! It is so simple in 'nature' but so good for health and tasty with a nice side dish. It is also one of the safest Indian dishes. My kids had idli's as one of their first solid food and I always turn to idli when someone is not well at home.


How to make Soft Idlis

Although it is such a simple food, this simple idli is the most fussiest food ever!! My biggest headache for a very long time, was to make soft idlis! I have tried many different recipes, proportions, tips and finally this is what worked for me and I settled on it. I got this recipe from here and here
Most recipes suggest to grind the rice and urad dal separately but I grind them together and it works well for me. 
Even if you come across a 'perfect' recipe for soft idli, you can master it only by trial and error. There are lots of factors that goes into making a soft idli and as you keep making it, week after week, you will perfect it and end up making soft idlis easily!!

Onion Uthapam

I make uthapam quite often, it is a wonderful alternative to the regular dosa. I usually make this on day 3 or 4 of my dosa batter. I make different varieties of uthapam and the easiest of all is this onion uthapam. You can also mix the onion along with the batter and then make the uthapam.
I have a mini uthapam pan which I use to make this, you can use the regular dosa pan too.

Onion Tomato Uthapam

Onion tomato uthapam is one of the easiest breakfast that South Indians make. It is simple, easy, tasty and colorful enough to even attract kids. I make this uthapam when my idli dosa batter is almost at the end, about 4 days old. Of course you can also make this uthapam with fresh idli batter but if you're looking for ways to finish off left over idli, dosa batter, this works really well! This breakfast is greatly enjoyed! 
You can serve this, just as you would serve dosa, with chutneys or sambar.

Mudakathan Keerai Dosai

Few months back I suddenly suffered from severe knee pain. It was probably because of climbing all those stairs with the heavy school bags of my kids! Whatever the reason, I was struggling quite a lot with it and my maid suggested this recipe. I did some research on it and found out that this keerai has some anti inflammatory properties and it's quite rich in anti oxidants too. It is hailed as a natural joint pain reliever! In English it is called as Balloon Vine leaves.


Mudakathan Keerai Dosai

So I decided to give it a go. And to my pleasant surprise, my knee pain has disappeared without any conventional medicine or treatment. From then on, I make it a point to include this keerai in our diet regularly.

This recipe is easy and simple to make and the best part is, I can give my kids too and they are quite excited to see the green dosa and eat it without a fuss!! There are 2 ways to make this dosa. You can add the cleaned leaves while grinding the idli dosa batter or you can make it like how I have done below. I find this method more simpler.
