For my part, I bought a big box of quinoa and used it only in a handful of dishes so far. Quinoa has a nutty taste like wheat rava and we bonded instantly. The family on the other...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2013/06/quinoa-adai.html/feed 9 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/09/oats-adai-oats-lentil-crepes.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/09/oats-adai-oats-lentil-crepes.html#comments Fri, 14 Sep 2012 04:06:54 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=5157 These days any side I turn I hear oats, quinoa and flax. Even when I talk to my mom, she mentions oats and sadly there are just a handful of recipes with oats right now. So, this adai is an attempt to include oats in our meal. Adai is basically a dosai made with lentils...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/09/oats-adai-oats-lentil-crepes.html/feed 10 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/02/pongalam-dosai-with-leftover-idli-batter.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/02/pongalam-dosai-with-leftover-idli-batter.html#comments Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:50:00 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=266 This is of my childhood favorites. It is amazing to think how in olden days people lived with no refrigerators. I grew up without one for the most part and my grandma used to make this dosai with leftover idli batter that has become sour. Idli is one of the healthiest breakfast and is also...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2012/02/pongalam-dosai-with-leftover-idli-batter.html/feed 0 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/11/pesarattu-whole-green-gram-dal-dosai.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/11/pesarattu-whole-green-gram-dal-dosai.html#comments Mon, 14 Nov 2011 05:51:00 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=196 Pesarattu is a very healthy and protein-packed dish that is also easy to prepare. It is a famous dish in Andhra cuisine. I have to admit that this was not my favorite dosa when I was a kid.

There is something about that crispy dosa which draws people and with onions it becomes even more tasty. Many people think it is very hard to make this dosa batter and rely on store bought mixes. The batter uses day to day ingredients and it is very easy...]]> http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/08/rava-dosa-and-simple-onion-tomato-chutney.html/feed 35 http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/06/adaidosa-savory-lentil-pancake.html http://cooksjoy.com/blog/2011/06/adaidosa-savory-lentil-pancake.html#comments Thu, 23 Jun 2011 06:53:00 +0000 Vardhini http://cooksjoy.com/blog/?p=55 Second week of blogging marathon starts today and we could either pick a particular theme or choose “one theme a day”.
