Mixed batter Dosa

I make this recipe with left over dosa and idli batter. Believe me it tastes good.

Ingredients: 

1. Dosa batter - 1 cup
2. Idli batter - 1 cup
3. Ragi flour - 1 cup
4. Rice flour - half cup
5. Wheat flour - half cup
6. Salt - little
7. Water - required amount to mix all ingredients.
8. oil - 2 spoons
9. Carrots - 2 - finely grated
10. chillies - 2 - finely chopped
11.onions- 1 - finely chopped
12. coriander - 1 katta - finely chopped.

Preparation:

Add All Ingredients except oil in a bowl. IT will look like a thick batter for dosa/uttapam. Now heat tawa and spread dosa as usual, but these dosa's look little thicker than normal dosa and thinner than Uttapam.
Fry dosa both sides nicely. it takes little longer time to cook than normal dosa as it has Ragi flour and veggies. Serve hot with any chutney. Even plain dosa's tastes good.

Will add pic soon.

Sprouts upma

Upma(Bombai) rava - 1 cup
Sprouts - half cup
Water - 2 cups

Garlic - small piece
Tomato- 1

Now add 2 cups of water and little salt and let it boil and all the ingredients will get cooked in the boiling water. After 2 mins add upma rava slowly...keep stirring while adding rava. keep it on low flame and switch off flame after 1 min. Sprouts upma is ready. its easy, healthy and filling.

Silver Earrings and Jewellery

Latest trend in silver jewelry. Silver earrings look very pretty and decent. They come for reasonable and affordable prices.My latest crush--- silver earrings. Silver neck pieces are also very beautiful but are on little costlier side.They look extraordinarily beautiful for saris and ethnic dresses.Here are some sites which i browse.

1. www.thekojewelleryshop.com
2. www.fabindia.com
3. www.tribebyamrapali.com
4. www.jaypore.com
5. www.fourseven.com
6. www.exoticindiaart.com

We should read details and description of this silver jewelry before we buy as there is a chance that they write that they are silver color or coated earrings instead of 92.5 sterling silver.We should not get confused with silver color and silver. so be careful while ordering.
