The quintessential breakfast food in Tamil Nadu, idlis are healthy (good amount of carb + protein), good for you (fermentation introduces probiotic nutrition), oil-free (steamed) and easy to digest. With the right accompaniments like a spicy sambhar, chutney or podi, and a hot cup of madras filter coffee, it’s a subliminal experience!
Quick and easy, spicy peanuts are coated in chick pea flour flavored with chili powder and hing, and baked, instead of deep fried. A perfect pick me up, and a healthy snack for those afternoon cravings. Great with a cup of hot ginger chai!
A grilled cheese sandwich with some heat for those cold winter months. Add a tomato soup, and this sandwich will wake you up!
Simple, quick and satisfying snack that can be made in about 30 mins. Made with semolina/cream of wheat and onions, and mixed vegetables.
This is a good summer salad that can be a meal by itself. Use season fresh beefsteak tomatoes and good quality cheese. Add some toasted ciabatta and you have a meal in under 30 minutes or less.
