#healthyjunior - This is a very common breakfast in most of the South Indian homes. It is prepared with roasted sooji / rava (semolina) and tempered with mustard seeds, urad dal, curry leaves, onion, ginger and ginger. Roasted peanuts or cashew nuts can also be added to give a slight crunch to the dish. It is generally had with coconut chutney and idli podi (gun powder). Quite filling and nutritious, it can be a great lunch box meal too. There are many variations to this simple and extremely quick breakfast. Chopped mixed veggies can be added to make it more healthy.
