#reshkitchen - This is a traditional and a very popular South Indian breakfast, especially Tamilnadu. Very simple and easy to make, it is a great preference of mine when time is a constraint. Best had with coconut chutney and sambar, but also tastes delicious with mango pickle and some podi (gun powder) sprinkled over it.
