Steamed green gram lentil/Hesarubele uppittu
Very much comforting & healthy breakfast idea during summers. This dish is one of our favourite. This can be made without onions as well, but we like it with onion.
Its making procedure is little lengthy….. but after all who doesn’t want that satisfaction of eating & serving a healthy breakfast ever. It tastes better if we make it more spicy.
