This was requested by a reader long time back but I could not post it earlier. I

Tomato Dosa-Thakkali Dosai-Instant Dosa Recipe

Today I am going to share with you 2 versions of tomato dosa. One is my mother's version, which is instant. You can prepare that if you have idli or dosa batter at home.

Parupu Payasam with coconut milk-Moong dal payasam- Pasi parupu payasam

It is very simple to prepare and tastes heavenly. I love all jaggery based payasams. Usually I prepare it with milk. Occasionally I use coconut milk instead of milk. Using coconut milk gives the payasam a special taste and also makes it rich
