Vegetable soup is a great satvik food to increase prana-shakti, and it is appropriate to be served as bhog to Sri Krishna in the Vaishnav tradition of India.
Heat a spoonful of mustard oil in a wok/kadhai and add mustard seeds, curry leaves, a slit green chilly, grated carrots and onions. Add the idli pieces. Toss and serve.
If there is any cuisine that has given the erstwhile Avadhi food some serious competition and that too on home turf, it is the lip-smacking ensembles from down south. But then the idli, dosa, vada, sambhar have been tantalising the Lucknowi palate for over 30 years now. Surprised? So was I when I set out to find out options in the city for those who love trying something simply southie.
