Dhoddak/Idli batter Pancakes Recipe
Dhoddak is a close cousin if the Uthappa sans onions and spice. Idli batter is used to make it. A small pan called Kadhai is used to make the Dhoddak as each of it has to be seasoned individually with mustard seeds.
Ingredients :
- 250 gms urad dal/Split Black Gram
- 600 gms rice
- Salt.
Method :
Wash and soak both rice and urad dal separately for 5 hours. Grind the urad dal in the grinder non stop for half an hour adding water at regular intervals. Grind the rice in the mixer to a rava like consistency.
Mix both the urad and rice batters, add salt and allow to ferment overnight or for 10 -12 hours. Alternatively you can use Idli batter too.
Method:
Heat a Kadhai. Drizzle a tsp of oil. Drop in a few mustard seeds and after they crackle pour a ladleful of the batter. Drizzle with oil on the sides. Cover and roast the Dhoddak to a golden brown. Flip. Roast on the other side too. Serve with coconut chutney.

Flattened Rice with Sweetened Curd Recipe
This is one item relished in most Indian households. Sugar is added to well set curd as per requirement and the sweetened curd is enjoyed by dropping in tiny scoops of poha or flattened rice and eaten immediately as it tends to get soggy if added before hand.

Instant Bread idli – 2 Recipe
I had posted an instant variety of Idli earlier, with vegetables added. Here is the simpler and plain version which tastes equally good teamed with a spicy chutney.
Ingredients :
- 6 slices of bread
- Idli Rava/ rice rava the same quantity as of the bread after it is powdered
- A pinch of soda bicarb
- 200ml curd
- Water
- Salt
Method :
Remove the edges of the bread slices. Grind the slices to a fine powder. Measure and add equal amount of Idli Rava. Tip in the Curd and soda bicarb. Mix well. Add enough water to make batter of pouring consistency or akin to idli batter. Allow it to stand for half an hour. Grease the Idli mould with oil or Ghee. Pour the batter into the mould and place it in a steamer. Steam for ten minutes. Remove. Allow to cool. Unmould and serve with green chutney.

Breakfast Platter – 4
Vellappam with a difference! I made Vellappam today with batter of Mushti Polo. It turned out really soft and delicious! Vellappam is usually enjoyed with a Potato and Onion Stew or a Chickpea curry but today I decided to sprinkle some chopped onions, minced green chillies and some Coriander leaves on the Vellappam and make a coconut chutney to go along with it. A refreshing change. Served it with a cup of cold Strawberry Milk shake and a few slices of Apple. Recipe Links to all are shared below.

Cup Idli and Shallots Sambhar Recipe
This combination is sheer nostalgia for me as we grew up on Cup Idli made by Amma. The Idli stand came much later. We would help her peel the shallots that went into making this delicious Sambhar. The best way to eat this combination, is to pour the Sambhar over the Idli and top it with a generous drizzle of home made Ghee/clarified butter. The recipe link to both are provided below.
