Once I have heard someone telling that cooking is nothing but just the right combination of salt and spices.But I really disagree!
If it would have been true then why the same dal serve in you platter daily, tastes different everyday?
Why you always miss your mom and say, "Ma ke haath wali baat nahin hai...!"?
Have you ever noticed when you are in a good mood and enjoying while cooking, you tend to make a tastier food rather than when you are in a bad mood...??
I am my mom's daughter a typical mumma's child..:) as everyone says, so my love for cooking and serving food properly are in my genes, transfered to me by my mom!! I started cooking food because of my mother and my brother.
As my mom cooks very well and my brother is fond of eating varieties. And now my son, whenever he goes to visit them in vacations, he enjoys his Mamu's company coz he makes him enjoy in all the way.... movies, parties, malls and top of them.. good food at various joints.
Once my son comes back to home, he insisits 'Ma, I want to have this and that... which I had there...'. and all this makes me to cook and serve him whatever he wants....

Idlis are light and delicious. And to make them more tasty and nutritious we can add various ingredients to them.
We all can cook and make our food interesting.
Let me share a secret with you! I was not fond of cooking, nor eating. But as soon as I became a mom, an instinct was born within me. It was that I should cook and I should provide all that he loves to eat outside, at home.
Reason?? :) the Gr8 Indian Moms mentality... the food should be hygenic and nutritious!!
This made me alter the Idli to Mix Veg Idli.... May you all enjoy this with your kids!
