As l was having continuous trips to Salem, I couldn\u2019t do it. I will come up with a yummy biryani this weekend for sure. Today\u2019s post is a kids friendly breakfast recipe. Yes, it is hotel style mini idli sambar. It is popularly known as ghee sambar idli, 14 idly sambar in Tamil nadu. My friends here call it as Button idli sambar, Coin idli sambar etc etc by different names. This is my daughter\u2019s favorite breakfast\/dinner recipe.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\">Generally I make idli sambar for dinner more than breakfast. I follow my <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chitrasfoodbook.com\/2012\/04\/hotel-idly-sambhar-tiffin-sambhar.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color: blue;\">hotel idli sambar recipe<\/span><\/strong><\/a><strong> <\/strong>with some modifications for making mini idli sambar. Most of the people make this sambar in a simple way just by adding <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chitrasfoodbook.com\/2014\/03\/homemade-sambar-powder-recipesambar.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: blue;\">sambar powder<\/span><\/a><\/strong> and tamarind. But I always make it using freshly ground sambar masala and tomatoes (without tamarind and vegetables).&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\">My friend Shalini suggested me to use raw onions and coriander leaves along with ghee for topping which adds great taste to this recipe. You can drink\/eat this sambar with raw onions as such even without mini idlis. This combination tastes soo good. Last year I conducted a small party at my home for Raksha\u2019s birthday.<\/p>\n<p>On that day, I made mini idli sambar<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chitrasfoodbook.com\/2012\/06\/vermicelli-biryani-semiya-biryani.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">,&nbsp;<span style=\"color: blue;\"><b>vermicelli pulao<\/b><\/span><\/a><strong><\/strong> and <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chitrasfoodbook.com\/2013\/12\/curd-rice-recipe-thayir-sadam-bagala.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"color: blue;\">curd rice<\/span><\/a><\/strong> along with <strong><span style=\"color: blue;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chitrasfoodbook.com\/2012\/12\/corn-cheese-balls-kids-snacks.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">corn cheese balls<\/a>&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong>,&nbsp;<strong><span style=\"color: blue;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.chitrasfoodbook.com\/2014\/04\/potato-chips-recipe-how-to-make-potato.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">chips<\/a>,&nbsp;<\/span><\/strong>&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.chitrasfoodbook.com\/2014\/05\/custard-powder-ice-cream-recipecustard.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><strong><span style=\"color: blue;\">ice cream<\/span><\/strong><\/a> and gulab jamun. This mini idli sambar was a super hit among my friends and kids. Everybody asked for second serving and the whole sambar bowl got emptied quickly. I was thinking to share this recipe in my blog for long time. But I couldn\u2019t. At last I made it yesterday just for blogging sake. It came out really well. Sendhil liked it a lot.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\">For parties, you can make it in bulk quantity easily if you have mini idli stand with 3 plates and you can serve them hot anytime by reheating the sambar.&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\"><\/div>\n<div dir=\"ltr\" style=\"text-align: left;\" trbidi=\"on\">Friends, do try this kids favorite ghee sambar idli during this vacation and take the credits from your family members.
