Sue akka thanks for your nice compliments.
You will not get any smell, for you will be adding, green chillie paste, coriander leaves, curry leaves, onions and all the other spices

To my knowledge, kaancheepuram idli is entirely different from rava idli.
Let me cook and post another day.

Kavi...normal suji flour doesn't have any unpleasant smell but the "iddli rawa" is very much finer than suji flour and its colour too is more to greyish white. I bought it from one of the grocery shops in Brickfields. Yaks!!😕...I threw the whole thing away. I will never purchase it again. However, one of these days when I have the time I am going to try making plain iddlis using the suji flour.😃

Vendaikkai Curry

Onion – 1 (medium)
Tomato – 1
Ginger-Garlic paste – tsp
Chili powder – or tsp (as per your spicy level)
Coriander powder – tsp

Procedure:
Wash, clean and cut the Vendaikkai into inch pieces.
Cut the onion into small thin strips and cut the tomatoes into small pieces.
In a wok/pan – first put 3 tsp of oil and when the oil is warmed up nicely, add the cut vendaikkai pieces and saut for about 5 minutes.
Take the Vendaikkai pieces out and keep it aside.
Now in the pan, add the remaining oil and when the oil is hot, add the seasoning ingredients – Mustard, Urad and Cumin seeds.
When the seeds popped, add the cut onion and saut it nicely. Add the Ginger-Garlic paste also at this time. Add the curry leaves.
When the onion becomes transparent, add salt and all the powders and saut it nicely.
Then add the already sauted Vendaikkai pieces mix well and add the tomato pieces and mix again.
Let it cook for another 5-8 minuets and your Vendaikkai curry is ready.
Enjoy it with your regular meal like Sambar and rasam satham and it tastes extra good when eaten along with Curd Rice!! 😊
