Rava Mini Uthappam /Mini Rava Uthappam


For the final day of blogging marathon #64 themed under kids brunch ideas,sharing an instant version of uthappam.
When I ran out of idly batter,I make the instant version of rava idly. I tried of making uthappam with slight modifications in the same batter.It came out so good and my kiddo likes it with peanut chutney and idly podi.
Now a days this uthappam appears in my kitchen frequently for after school snack.Here I used a generous pinch of eno fruit salt to get a fluffy uthappam.The uthappam comes good without eno also,but needs to consume right from the pan.
Also I mixed the onion and grated carrot in the batter,instead of topping it as it blends well.Sending this to Brunch Ideas for kids.Off to the recipe..........

Egg Masala Sandwich / Masala Egg Sandwich / Egg Sandwich


Coming to  the second day of Blogging Marathon#64 themed under kids brunch recipes,is a quite inviting sandwich with eggs.Mostly on week ends, my kiddos get up late and ended up in eating brunch Since week end mornings are lazy I tried to make some recipe which is slightly filling as well as easy to make in no time.
One such quick fix  is sandwiches, as we like it a lot I tired to make it with different stuffing.This recipe was suggested by my son when I had some left over egg stuffing made for egg puff,for a potluck.He liked it a lot,since then I make it often for him.As he likes mint chutney for sandwich I used,its optional.But the chutney gives a nice flavor and taste to the sandwich.
