Soak 1 glass of channa dhal & 1 glass of moong Dhal for 3 to 4 hours or overnight. Drain the water and grind into a rough paste along with sufficient salt. Avoid adding water. But, if you cant grind without it, add very little water. The paste should be ROUGH. Grease a dish. Add the thick batter into the dish and steam it in pressure cooker for 15 minutes. (Ensure not to put the whistle – should just steam like how you do for Idlis).

Stuffed Rice Roti: This is purely a home made dish prepared with rice flour interior and maida outer layer. It is similar to a stuffed paratha, but we use rice flour for stuffing instead of veggies. Maida forms the outer cover. It's a very tasty dish ideal for breakfast or dinner. A dish strongly recommended for diet conscious people as it requires very little oil.

Though there are a thousand varieties of rasam, this particular type seems to please our taste buds with mild energising flavour. This famous dish is from Mysore, often prepared during great feast at the palace to serve the Kings and Queens (general myth). Well not anymore… it can be made in your own kitchen with ease and don't really have to be kings and queens to get a taste of this royal rasam.
