Nowadays we can find masala dosa’s with many variations. Apart from different stuffings there are variety chutney’s are spread over the dosa’s which gives a complete different taste. Recently I had been to one of the South Indian restaurants and I had ordered Palak Masala dosa. It was absolutely delicious mainly because of the aromatic chutney spread over dosa which was prepared from palak puree and green chillies.

Idli which is a traditional breakfast dish of every South Indian household is prepared from dosa rice and urad dal. There are variety of idli’s such as rava idli, mallige idli, rice idli, stuffed idli and so on.

You can also prepare many dishes from left over idli batter which I am going to post in my blog in coming days.

Aloo paratha is a type of Indian bread where potato filling is stuffed inside the dough made from wheat flour and then cooked. This is a most common breakfast dish that you can find in North India. In my house most of the time the breakfast menu will be either variety dosa’s or idli, and I also like to prepare some of the North Indian dishes occasionally for a change from routine similar food.
