Idlis - A Traditional South Indian Breakfast

"Idli" the most popular South Indian breakfast. However, due to its popularity, idlis are now available everywhere in India and also in Indian restaurants all over the world.
Here is the traditional Idli recipe.
Below are given 2 variations, the end result is however almost the same, ie soft, fluffy idlis.


Variation 1 : Using Parboiled rice
Variation 2 : Use rice semolina or Idli Rawa

Alle Chutney (Ginger Coconut Chutney)

One of the best chutneys that go with idlis and some types of dosa.
The Ginger Coconut chutney is also known as "Alle Chutney" in Konkani.

Tomato Phanna Upkari (All purpose Tomato curry)

This tomato curry called "Tomate Phanna Upkari" in konkani is one of the easiest curries to make.
I call it all purpose since it goes well with almost anything...Indian breads like Phulkas/Chapatis/Rotis, Dosa, Idli and Indian noodles like Shavige/Idiappam and even Rice.
A traditional konkani dish, but still not very popular among all konkanis.This is a traditional dish mostly cooked in my maternal family.
