  26. Hello arthi
    First time here & loved your recipes. esp this one. I tried this with a little variation, I did not add ginger-garlic, red chillipd, green chilli, dhania pd, garam masala instead added RASAM POWDER (this gave enuf spice for us) & also add grated carrot (which gave a lovely color). Your dish would have turned out great too if I used the other ingredients but since I wanted to make it very simple for my kid I tried it like this. But this dish vanished from everyone’s plate within minutes and really thanks for the lovely twist to Idiyappam ! Next time I will try using the other ingredients too..

    • Hi Sandhya,
      Thanks a lot..After trying and giving your comments is very encouraging..Nice tip to give it for kids 🙂
