It was a historical moment for us in Afghanistan yesterday...We made 'rava dosai' ...from MTR rava idli ready mix...
Found on the MTR pack an interesting piece of history :
Did u know rava idlis were first invented at MTR? During world war II, rice was in short supply
.MTR experimented with wheat and thus was born the enormously famous "rava idli"
what can i say...
Please stop

This information "made my day"
The round things with jam(?) looks very much like "pancakes" to me - I´ll send you a recipe later.
Pancakes are my grandchildrens favorite when visiting!
I must have made thousands in my day.
I too like Iyer hotel Rava Idli, athula sambar yuthi sapita superra irukum.
ReplyDelete*den blyga(granny)...yes, its made in pans and we call the round thing 'dosai' ...the brown side dish that u see in the pic is called 'chutney' and is a quite hot & spicy paste. The red side dish is not jam. Its another hot & spicy powder (podi) mixed with ghee/oil.
ReplyDeleteand do send ur recipe for pancakes!
> Did u know rava idlis were first invented at MTR? During world war II, rice was in short supply
ReplyDelete.MTR experimented with wheat and thus was born the enormously famous "rava idli"

ReplyDeleteI mentioned about good (it is relative) Indian restaurants in London. We have Saravana Bhavan, Chennai Dosa, Woodlands, Udupi and a few more Srilankan places that can provide decent Idlis and Dosas. If you want details, let me know or was it a rhetorical question?
@@Ashok
Thanks for updating the link
Slakhs / SLN
While you guys are at it..
ReplyDeleteplease recommend good rest. in the dc. area.. Thanks.. haha
ethukku mela sappadu pathi post panninga naan tension ayuduvein...yerkanave me surviving on maggi noodles...no verup yethings.
ReplyDeleteAshok, it wasnt a rhetorical question, I do mean it when I say no good Indian restuarants here. I would much prefer it if you can list me a few.
ReplyDelete*usha...that comment for u came from slakhs(sln).....and he has listed a few..iam ignorant about food joints in UK
