An evergreen South Indian breakfast special. Nutritious and very easy to make, it is an all time hit with my family. It is a must have one on most of the days especially weekends and holidays. Not only is it a healthy and a filling one, it's absolutely tasty too. I have added Peanuts for the crunch but it can also be very well made without them. Fresh Coconut Chutney goes very well with this. Though it tastes good with any flavourful Chutney for that matter. And also one thing to be taken note of is that it can be relished all by itself too without any accompaniment or Condiment. That's the beauty of this simple yet elegant looking Breakfast dish from the Southern part of India. Happy Breakfast Time Everyone!

Homemaker by choice and a passionate cook by heart. An aspiring cook who actually never knew anything about Cooking until i became a mother myself.With Motherhood came the responsibilities as well and this was the turning point in my life.I started to learn the ABC's of cooking, taking help from my mother and my MIL. And time just flew. I spread my wings higher and higher. With my love for excellence and innovation, i stepped into a world of homecooks with my exposure to Cookpad one fine day on the social media. And there was no looking back since then and i have not only shared recipes here on this wonderful platform but also have made some lovely friends as well. Today iam successful because of my hard work, dedication and loads of good wishes of my family and my kids in particular.
