You are reminding me of my brother. He put sugar in sambar and he dip idli in that sambar and eat😬

I love me my sweet sambhar.😍 Growing up, I am used to eating the pulusu items with jaggery. My mom says jaggery is the antidote for tamarind. I like my Idli with chutneys, podi and ghee. Not a fan of sambar idlii combo.

I do that too when I go to the restaurants because very rarely do you get sweet sambhar in the restaurants. ☺️ I am trying to wean off of my sweet obsession though.🤞

All this idli convo has compelled me to write about the way i eat idli

So i take the idly and break it into multiple small pieces. Next i need a thick sambar...i dip all the small idli pieces in it and let it soak in the flavours. After 3 to 5 mins i pick up one piece add the coconut chutny to the piece and finally taste the heaven 😳

I also like fried idly in small broken pieces and chilli idly.

I couldn't control my cravings, I needed something spicy to eat, so I'm making Maggi at this hour😆

Plain unsweetened Yogurt/Curd is my absolute fav.❤️

There was a time in my life when i used to eat 1Kg yogurt everyday, because that’s the only thing i would eat with fruits and vegetables. Ab toh I don’t eat it that much because i have started eating Roti but Yeah i love yougurt and still have it almost every other day☺️

I love instant ramen. Instant ramen is the often vilified culinary hero. The perfect qq noodles, the warm, comforting broth, and of course, the sodium bomb are just the hug you need when you're sick or down or just need a pick-me-up.

As a child, my favorite comfort food was paej. Its a soupy brown rice made in Konkani households. It is served very simply with a big dollop of ghee and salt to taste. Pickles and crispy papad also go well with it and add textural contrast. My mom would make paej whenever I fell sick.

With paej in mind, I naturally fell in love with congee. It's basically paej but with other kinds of seasoning. My favorite kind is with preserved pork and egg.

Rasam rice is another comfort dish that always makes me happy. What I love about rasam is each person makes it differently. Sometimes it's peppery. Sometimes it's tangy. Sometimes the sweetness of the tomato comes through. Sometimes it's so spicy it clears your sinuses. Sometimes it's mild and goes down easy. Sometimes it's soupy and you can drink it from a cup. Sometimes it's thicker and melds so nicely with rice.

Are you Konkani?? I never cared for paej (unless I was ill). But I love Koddel and dalitoi.
