Coconut idli (Soyi Sandan/Sannan)

by Shilpa | 12.29.2006 | Posted in Breakfast or snacks, Idlis

The name coconut idli might be little misleading, but I did not know how to name this dish. Just because this is steamed like a idli, I came up with this name. Those who are regular at Aayi’sRecipes know that I blog mostly about dishes with coconut. It is one of the most important ingredients [...]

Cucumber cake (Tausalli)

by Shilpa | 09.07.2006 | Posted in Breakfast or snacks, Idlis

Tausalli is one of the most loved breakfasts among Konkanis. I never knew it is also called ‘cucumber cake’. But after reading Ashwini’s post and also talking to few of my readers who referred to this dish as ‘cucumber cake’, I thought of adding “Cucumber cake” to the title of this post. Taushe means Cucumber [...]

Cucumber idli (Kadamb)

by Shilpa | 10.28.2006 | Posted in Breakfast or snacks, Idlis

“Kadamb” is another dish that always I wanted to include in Aayisrecipes. But like hittu/khotte, for this, the ‘turmeric leaves’ were not available here. So I always prepared either tausalli or made these in banana leaves like this. So this was one of the dishes in “most-wanted-pictures” list. Like hittu/khotte, these pictures are also taken [...]

Fried idli

by Shilpa | 11.10.2006 | Posted in Breakfast or snacks, Idlis

There are many ways to utilise the left over idlis. Sometimes we make upma from them. Sometimes we powder them and add coconut, chilies, ginger, salt, coconut oil and asafoetida water to make idli puddi (idli-hinga-udak). Sometimes we shallow fry them with cumin and mustard seeds. All the three taste amazing. I have also seen [...]

gingery idlis

The temperature is dropping very fast here. With the cold weather, we both caught up cold too. Aching throat, runny nose and heavy head was just making things difficult. So after few days of pretty bland food, we started craving for some hot and spicy food. The first thing that came to my mind were [...]

Idli – sambar – chutney

by Shilpa | 08.28.2006 | Posted in Breakfast or snacks, Idlis

This week I am going to post some of the very basic recipes. So these posts are here to help newbie cooks in some small way. These will have more details than the normal posts to make cooking easy for newbies. Idli is one thing that I didn’t get right so many times. After continued [...]

Idlis in jackfruit leaves(Hittu/khotte/khotte kadubu)

by Shilpa | 10.25.2006 | Posted in Breakfast or snacks, Festival food, Idlis, Konkani Recipes

Aayisrecipes would not be a “Konkani site” if I had missed this dish. Hittu/khotte is one of the most popular dishes for Konkanis (This is also popular among Kannadigas). For most of the people, it is just a festival food, but at my home, aayi prepared this whenever we wanted. She made these small baskets [...]

Kanchipuram idli

by Shilpa | 01.26.2007 | Posted in Breakfast or snacks, Idlis

Few days back, when I posted a recipe for Kanchipuram dosa, many of you mentioned about this idli. Then I saw this recipe in my diary. I am not sure if it is authentic, but I liked these idlis very much. I saw this recipe in one of the TV shows in India. These idlis [...]
