Cartoon idlis

~ Cartoon Idlis ~

Idlis are considered one of the top ten most healthiest

foods in the world . These steam cooked popular

South Indian savory cakes are made of fermented

black lentils and rice/semolina , and are served with

piping hot sambhar (spicy lentil n vegetable soup)

and coconut chutney (dip).

My version of idli, accompanied with lemon n

salads for picky lil ones....

Scarlet mushroom

~ The Scarlet Mushroom ~

I simply love mushrooms!! these little fleshy

fruity bodies always top my grocery list.

Few days back I bought a stool for my lil one .

Its beautiful scarlet cushioned seat with white polkas

constantly reminds me of Fly Agaric , the most gorgeous

mushroom of the fungal world, truly a delight for

the eyes( Beware !!! its poisonous )

My scarlet egg mushroom is definitely

an edible Fly Agaric ......

Lil Fly Agaric

Hard boiled eggs, tomato n mayonnaise

( Cut a thin slice from the broader side of the egg to make a

stable base for the mushroom , top it with a

tomato cap , lastly make white dots with mayonnaise.
