Rawa Idli

Cooking has always been one of my hobbies. The contentment of satiating the hunger of people with mouth-watering dishes is beyond words. Cooking a variety of items and garnishing them beautifully to make them irresistible for people, fills my heart with immense pleasure.

Considering the hectic routine and busy lives of everyone around ,this art is just being considered and performed as a 'not-so-pleasant task' at the end of a tiring day. Throughout the week , working moms are looking for dishes which can be made quickly ,are tasty and also give the required nutrition to the whole family.

 So here's one more 'Jhatpat recipe' for a real busy day :
