Hello Fellas................ I hope everyone is doing fine and staying healthy.

Today's recipe is Idli Burger: one of my son's favorite. Idli is a very common breakfast in most of the Indian households. It's a very healthy and hassle-free breakfast item if you do the prep work beforehand. On the other hand, we all (especially our kids) love Burger, isn't it? Then how about combining both the items? As you all know I'm a huge fan of fusion dishes and love to do experimental cooking. Sometimes the outcome is a huge disaster and sometimes it's a huge success; basically, it is two sides of the same coin. 

So, in this recipe, I have tried to replace the buns in the burger with Rava Idlis. If you want you can go for traditional idlis too. Rava Idlis come handy if you are in a hurry. Just combine the ingredients of Rava Idli, steam them and you're done. If you want the recipe for Rava Idli you can click here (here). So, without any further ado let's begin with the recipe:

Oats Idli

Hello Fellas.........hope you all are doing good and enjoying the monsoons at your respective places. These days my 3-year-old is keeping me on my toes.............always running behind him for this or that. Moreover their online classes......... that's another story, will write about it in some other post.

As it is said that "Eat breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a beggar". In order to stay healthy and energetic throughout the day, it's very important to have a fulfilling breakfast. It is the first meal of the day, and it is the meal that the body uses to top up its glucose levels after 8-12 hours of fasting. If you skip your breakfast, you will have a shorter attention span, be less alert, take longer to react, have low blood sugar, and decreased productivity. So, never ever skip your breakfast.

Coming on to today's post it's all about a breakfast recipe which is not only healthy but fulfilling too. It is packed with nutrients and it requires very little time to prepare. Today's recipe is Oats Idli. Oats are among the healthiest grains on earth. They are gluten-free and a great source of vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants. There are many health benefits of oats including weight loss, lower blood sugar levels, and a reduced risk of heart disease.

So, without any further ado let's begin with the recipe:

Rava Idli

Hello, my foodie friends......I hope this post finds you in the best of your health. Today I'm going to share a very healthy and quick breakfast recipe which is very easy to prepare and requires just 15-20 mins of your time. I can understand how busy mornings are in every household so I always stress on having quick, easy but healthy breakfast recipes that can be prepared in a jiffy.

Rava Idli or Semolina Idlis is a very popular breakfast/tiffin item originated in Bengaluru (then Bangalore) Karnataka. It is a variation of the traditional Rice Idli and is made with Semolina (Rava), curd, and few spices. Rava Idli requires no fermentation so they can be prepared instantly.

Traditional Idlis (recipe here) are made by soaking rice and lentil, grinding, and then fermenting the mixture. Rava Idli is an excellent alternative to this traditional Idli. They are served with Coconut Chutney and Sambhar. If you want you can temper the Rava Idli batter otherwise they can be prepared as it is.

As this Idli recipe doesn't require the hassle of soaking, grinding, and fermenting the batter this Rava Idli is a very consistent breakfast item at my home. Nowadays you can get packaged Rava Idli mix in the stores but nothing can beat the taste and hygiene of homemade food.

So, without any further ado let's begin with the recipe:

Chilli Idli

            

India is a very diversified country and its diversity can not be seen in art, culture, language but also in food too. The diversity in food can be seen in its look, taste and even in the way it is cooked. One dish can be different in its look, taste and the process of cooking in different parts of our country. That's how diversified our country is and we Indians are definitely proud of it.

Have you ever tried Fusion Dishes? Fusion Cuisine doesn't fall under any particular cuisine style and has played a part in innovations of many contemporary restaurant cuisines since the 1970s. It's really very innovative and at the same time challenging to fuse elements of different culinary traditions into one style of cooking. I usually try to experiment with some traditional dishes and give them a new look and feel. 

Today in this post I'm going to blend together two different cuisines which are way apart from one another, one is South Indian cuisine and the other one is Chinese Cuisine/ Ind0-Chinese Cuisine to be very specific. If you love these cuisines then you'll definitely love this recipe.

If you're wondering how to cook Idlis which are soft and fluffy then I have got your back. I have already posted the recipe of Idlis which you can read here (click here). So, let's begin with the recipe:

Soft and Spongy Idli

           

Hello, my foodie friends....... I hope this post finds you well. In order to stay energetic and enthusiastic the whole day it's very important to have a healthy breakfast. I always stress on having breakfast and making it healthy.

Today's post is all about a South Indian delicacy Idli. Idli's are soft, spongy savory cake made from fermented rice and lentil batter. The lentil used here is Urad Daal. Idlis are generally served with Sambhar and Coconut chutney. Having Idlis in breakfast is a very common scene in every South Indian household but nowadays it has become popular worldwide. It is one of the healthiest breakfasts known as it can be served to babies,  aged persons and even to the people on diet.

Idlis can be made in two ways:

• Rice Idli: Using rice along with urad daal
• Rava Idli: Using rava or semolina along with urad daal

For making soft and fluffy Idlis rice and daal are soaked in water for about 4-5 hours. There are many controversies whether rice and urad daal should be soaked together or separately but to be very frank I don't find any difference in the texture or taste of the Idlis. So, I soak them together and even grind them together but if you want you can soak them separately, grind them separately and then mix them together.

Today in this post we'll make some soft and spongy Idlis. It is very easy to make and just needs 15 mins of your time if you do the prep work beforehand.

So, let's begin with the recipe:
