idlis - 8-12-12

Finally we made some idlis. Would love to have some coconut/peanut chutney!

These were made in the cooker

This is what you get if you put the entire batter in the microwave for 5 minutes thinking that the water will evaporate a bit - A gigantic idli!!

Don't ask why they are brown. They just turned out to be so.

A walk along the river

This is a view from the southern bank of the river. There is a beautiful
jogging track laid out along the bank. Spent a lovely evening there last Saturday.
Fun to see people intrigued by cats hiding in the trees. Lots of big dogs exercising.
A football field close by. Going to be our exercise spot for days to come.
