South Indian delicacies like upma, idli and dosa are light, filling and healthier than a lot of other food options. Click ahead to get some tips about how to make these dishes.
Ferment the idli batter overnight to get the softest and most spongy idlis.
Always soak the rice and the lentils separately to get the fluffiest idlis.
Use a non-stick tawa and brush some oil so that the dosa does not stick to it.
Temperature control is very important, so make sure you sprinkle a little water while making the dosa.
Spreading the batter evenly on the tawa makes sure that you get crispy dosas.
Fry your vadas on high flame first so that they do not stick to kadhai. Then lower the flame to cook it from inside.
Add chopped veggies to your breakfast uttapam to make it healthy and delicious.
Mix rawa and curd together to make instant batter for uttapam if you did not ferment a batter overnight.
Make you upma in ghee and fry fry the curry leaves in ghee too for the best taste.
Add chana dal and black mustard seed tadka to add flavour and texture to your upma.
