Idly and dosa are awesome comfort food as well as neutral in taste. They are so versatile that you can spice it up with any side dish as per your choice. Kadappa is my first and best choice for idly and dosa. :)
Ingredients:
Moong dhall - 3 tbsp
Potato - 2
Onion - 2
Coconut scrappings - 4 tbsp
Poppy seeds - 1 tsp
Ani seed - 2 tsp
Cloves - 2
Marathi Mokku (dried flower pods) - 1/2 flower
Garlic - 10 pods
Ginger - 1 inch piece
Lemon juice - 1 tsp
Green chillies - 6
Salt - for taste
Method:
Cook moong dhall, potato and onion and keep it aside. Grind all the other ingredients in a mixie adding some water to it. Now take the the ground paste in a bowl and add the cooked moong dhall, potato and onion to it and let this boil for ten min. Once done, simmer the stove and add lemon juice to it and mix well.
Kadapa is ready to eat. Serve it with hot idly or dosa. :)
Decoration: I used mini idlies to decorate around the kadappa.
