Spinach/palak Rava Idli (Green idli)
About:
It is a specality breakfast dish in Karnataka and popular in resturants across Bangalore. I tried to make it unique by adding spinach puree to give a greeny look.
The preparation does not require any soaking/fermenting and it is almost like instant idli just that it requires preparation and 10 minutes of resting time.
It is garnished with cashew nuts and grated carrot.
- Yields – 12 to 15
- Preparation time-10 minutes
- Resting time-10-15 minutes

Coconut Basil Rice
About:
And the rice!! with coconut and basil, totally cozy and totally delicious. I loved it! It’s incredibly simple to make.
And it can be served as is for lunch or breakfast or for packed lunch or serve it with chutney/any dip of choice.
I love basil, It’s the best smell, and in my opinion one of the best herbs. So instead of rice with loads of cilantro, which I do love too, I added some basil to this, mostly for a nice summery kick. Pretty sure you are going to love it.
