How cute are these Idli Waffles??!! Idli Waffles I really wish this was another quick and easy weeknight dinner option, but it just wasn't as quick as I like my usual recipes to be! But it is worth testing out for the change in textures you get with these idli waffles! It falls somewhere in between a crispy dosa and a super soft and fluffy idli. You get a crisp outer surface from the waffle iron but the inside of the waffle is still very fluffy! And I still make these on a weeknight when ...

A Quick and Simple Homestyle Egg and Tomato Curry

Instead homestyle curries are made with your basic Indian pantry items. Staples like: onion, tomatoes, garlic, ginger. There's no orange-ish hue from food color. Instead the common Indian spices you know ...
