Hi All,

Drafting a recipe after a long time ,This year our summer vacation was really great , we enjoyed in Kerala and also in Pollachi ( Tamil Nadu).Due to mobile network issues I was not able to post any new recipe for past 20 days and only yesterday we returned back to Bangalore.

Today Iam posting a recipe which my mum made for us when we were in Pollachi ,She made this Channa Dal sweet idli for evening snack and it was really very yummy , light and perfect for evening snack and yes..it is healthy too.
