Recipe Story

Making my son finish his breakfast without me screaming at him or threatening him with consequences has always been an impossible task. This Republic day, however, I was determined to make the impossible happen, but without spending much time in kitchen (my little one will not allow me to). Since Adee (my DS) was all geared up to attend the flag hoisting at his school, I decided to take advantage of that and give a cool tricolored twist to the regular breakfast of idli, dosa, and gondponglu (a sort of little dosa balls from Karnataka). I am sure your kids will love this menu too...

Things You Will Need

Mini Idli Plate
Idli Cooker / Steamer
Dosa tava / Frying pan
Gundponglu Plate

Directions

• Soak rice, fenugreek seeds, and udad dal for 4 to 5 hours.
• Grind it to a thick idli/dosa batter consistency.
• Allow the batter to ferment overnight.
• Puree carrots and spinach separately.
• Divide the batter into 3 parts.
• Add carrot puree to one and spinach puree to the other. Let the third part remain white.
• Season each batter with salt and you are ready.

Preparing Mini Idli Skewers
• Grease a mini idli plate and pour 1 teaspoon of each of the batters in the separate slots.
• Steam for 10 minutes in a steamer or idli cooker.
• Once done, cool the plate and remove the idlis using a flat spoon.
• To serve insert 3 idlis into each kebab skewers or toothpicks (follow the orange – white - green order)
• Serve with sambhar


Preparing Topi Dosa
• Grease a non-stick dosa tava.
• Pour a small spoon of red dosa batter in the center and flatten it to a small round.
• Immediately pour the white dosa batter around the red circle such that the 2 batters slightly mix at the edges (this will prevent the rings from separating)
• Pour the green batter round the white dosa ring. Again, make sure that the 2 batter slightly mix at the edges.
• Cook on the tava till crisp. Add more oil to the edges if desired.
• Once done, using a steel spatula cut the dosa from any edge to the center.
• Remove the dosa from the tava and shape it in form of a topi (cone).
• Serve with a potato filling.


Preparing Layered Gundponglu
• Grease the slots of a Gundponglu plate ( it is a frying pan with circular molds to hold the batter, if you cannot find one, you can use a iron muffin pan or a small tadka bowl)
• Pour a small amount of red batter in each slot. Wait for few seconds and pour white batter followed by the green batter.
• Cover and cook over medium low heat until the edges turn golden brown.
• Remove and serve hot with coconut chutney
