Idli Sambar: Its whats for brunch!
Of late, I seem to be craving idlis. First it was Lakshmi, who tormented us with her pati's excellent idli making skills. Then at the Konkani Sammelan we had idli sambar for breakfast, and I only had one serving! 
Considering the long lines, I felt guilty and did not go for seconds. *yes sad*
But M dearest seems to have noticed my silent suffering. Without any prompting (really!), she soaked the dal for two days, ground it, fermented if for a day and on Saturday morning made delicious idlis. She even made the perfect sambar, just the way I liked it – from scratch and by blending all the spices. And with lots of eggplant, peppers and potatoes. I like the gritty feel. No powders were used in the preparation of this sambar!
And yes! I went for seconds, … and thirds!
