Idli is very famous breakfast as well as main course item in South India and traditionally prepared by using some ratio of fermented rice and pulse mixture. Fermentation process is long and tedious. On the other hand Rava idli is very easy to make and does not require any fermentation process. Fruit salt is used to speed up the process and then the end result is pure white like glacires and soft like Ice-cream IDLIES are ready to serve with some chutneys and Sambar.This kind of plate is just sheer bliss on Earth.

Sambhar is lentil base curry in which lots of vegetables are added.You can choose any of the seasonal vegetable like Bottle Gourd,Carrot,Pumpkin,Brinjal,Drumstick are name of few. What makes it different from other curries is Tamarind pulp and aroma of Sambhar powder. Sambhar powder is mix of different spices which are coarsely ground.Tamarind pulp is used in the curry to give it sourness, but I have used Lemon Juice instead. All veggies are cooked with Dal and then it is tempered with Mustard seeds and Curry Leaves. Sambhar is served with Idli,Dosa,Vada or just simple white rice.
