Food.Food. Food. This is the only reason why you and I are running around. Incidetally, its the only thing for which we will say enough. I love food. Good Food. A good food is something which by its aroma has to give you the hunger.
Ossssh! What happened to me? I think the topic is getting serious. But why is it I am so much in love with eating? Could be the effect of good times spent in hostel eating bad food.
One of my favourite food is Idli. If you are a Idli hater, then it means you havent had the chance to get the rite one.
Take Hot plumpy steamed soft idlis say 4 nos. lay them in a plaintain leaf. Idlis should be cooked in such a way that if you take one idli & hold it should crumple to the size of one mouth full. Most important thing is it has to be white. If you like to add more taste to it, pour gingelly oil on top. Thats it with idlis.
Now coming to the side dishes that go well with this: First and Foremost is the coconut chutney. Haan! the making of this has to be like this. Fine grated coconut. ( Do not grate it till the shell.) Add 2 green chillies to it. One small onion. And Salt. End Product is Pure white Chutney. If you have enough time, make green chutney with corriander leaves. Add large portions of corr. leaves and a small portion of coconut. Thats it! Then comes the sambar. However its made, the sambar should be warm for the Hotty Hot Idlis.
Now the eating part. Take a little piece of hotty hot idli and dip that in the warm sambar, then mix it with coconut chutney..Keep it in your mouth... Isnt it melting inside... Thats the way .. ha ... haa.. I like It.. Ha Haa...
After taking the course ... complete it with a Hot Coffee...AM not talking about Cappucino or Espresso.. Thanjavur Special Degree Kaapi...Isnt the bitter taste of Kaapi lingering in your mouth now?
Love your Food! Enjoy your Food!

Bee i would say all the idlies i had,, had the same efect on me. it used to melt in mouth. and i had all of them with loads of sambhar. but presently the idlies i am having, down here at udupi, are served with thove ( yellow daal). so cant tell much now. but in past it was all the same. Just crumbs of idly ( not crumbling idly) :)
