As a working mom, I am e'er striving to feed my family, peculiarly my children good for you lot meals. Weekends, I instruct inward a betoken to brand traditional breakfasts which too tin travel tiffin items for the kickoff twain of days of the week. Most Indian traditional breakfast items require around variety of batter to last made ahead of fourth dimension in addition to fermented. This agency you lot select to excogitation ahead mid-week equally to when to soak the rice in addition to lentils in addition to when to grind the batter in addition to brand certain at that spot is plenty fourth dimension for fermentation. If I am making all this effort, I mightiness equally good brand certain that I select plenty for 2 breakfasts in addition to many last fifty-fifty a few of the kiddos lunches through the week! Now obviously, nobody wants to swallow the same breakfast 2 days inward a row!! We all crave variety. So, I became creative in addition to created variety.
My kids beloved idlis ( steamed rice-lentil cakes) that are unremarkably served amongst sambar. When I brand idli batter, I brand certain that I brand plenty batter for 2 breakfasts! However the minute day, instead of making idlis, I brand appos ( paniyaram ) inward a appe pan or ablesevier pan. Making appe is too a peachy role for idli/ dosa batter that has gone sour. I role the same chutney for both. You could fifty-fifty instruct creative amongst the appe past times adding chopped onions, coriander leaves, bits of ginger in addition to greenish chillies in addition to may last fifty-fifty around finely chopped veggies! It comes out delicious!
You tin uncovering the recipe for the idlis here in addition to the technique for appe here.
This is perfect for the lunch-box for the kids. You tin fifty-fifty brand mini-idlis instead of the regular big ones.

After making idlis, cleaning the idli mold plates tin last quite a like shooting fish in a barrel task. You tin brand this chore easier past times ensuring that you lot liberally grease the idli mold amongst butter or ghee( clarified butter), which too gives the idlis a overnice flavor.
