#reshkitchen - This is a traditional South Indian breakfast of semolina cooked with veggies. It is very healthy and nutritious. At the same time it is very wholesome too. A sprinkle of nalla karam podi or any idli podi enhances the taste and flavour. It can be had on it's own or with some coconut chutney.
