Avocado sandwich

Hi! to all my blog readers.Me back to blogging after a long gap:)though I was not blogging but I was sometimes reading my few favourite blogs and trying some quick recipes.
Today I have come up with the avocado sandwich, a nutritious greeny and tasty sandwich.
Avocado sandwich

Ingredients
8 slices whole-grain bread
8 tsp light mayonnaise
2 medium tomatoes (thinly sliced)
1 cup alfalfa or beans sprouts
250 gms cucumber (peeled and thinly sliced)
2 small avocados (sliced)
120 gms cheese (very thinly sliced or shredded)
4 tsp mustard sauce

Method
Spread on bread slices mayonnaise, mustard sauce, put chopped tomatoes, cucumber, sprouts,avocado and finally cheese to get delicious veggie sandwich.
But I have slightly modified it, I made a chutney(paste) of beans sprouts and
avocado with a pinch of salt and pepper and spread it on bread slices and then added the chopped vegetables and cheese, and believe me it made the sandwich more yummier.

IDLI (steamed rice cake)

I decided to make idlis today,and they turned out to be really soft and fluffy.i feel its the most healthiest food for breakfast.My recipe for idlis goes like this!

Ingredients
1 cup urad dal(split black lentil)
2 3/4 cups idli rava(cream of rice)
1 tbsp yogurt
salt

method:
soak urad dal for 3-4 hrs.Drain the extra water,grind it well with medium tight consistency.Now add the idli rava to the batter.mix well add yogurt and cover it tightly.Wrap a thick cloth around the vessel and keep it in the warmest place of your kitchen.(I placed it in oven)Allow it to ferment for whole night.
The next morning the batter will be double its volume ;if its fermented properly.
Add salt mix well, consistency should be thick and smooth.
Grease the idli plates of idlistand and pour in the batter.Steam it in pressure cooker or steamer.(i used pressure cooker,10 minutes on high flame and 6 minutes on medium flame).
Remove it and serve hot with chutney and sambhar!
Tips for soft cotton like idlis
1) If u add salt before fermentation make it a point to note its not iodized.
iodized salt and chlorinated water interfere with fermentation.
2) u can also add 1 tsp dry yeast for it to ferment well.
3) Adding few grains of soaked fenugreek seeds while grinding will help idlis come soft.
