Side dish for idli, dosa and pongal
Today i am sharing one of my favourite dish ,made with shallots , from my mom’s kitchen which we enjoyed during our childhood days, with hot idlis and dosas.

Hi ,
can you post some recipies and side dishes for chapathis which will not spoil during travel for 3 or 4 days.
can we replace big onions instead of shallots
The main highlight of this recipe is the addition of shallots. Taste will differ if u add big onions. Shallots is recommended
