Jeer-Mirya Idli

Jeera-Miri (Cumin Seeds & Black Peppercorns) make a wonderful combo and its coconut based cold curry is devoured in Konkani families called "Jeer-Mirya" Kadhi. The same combo flavors the usual idli batter  with a hint of coconut oil. The result is "Jeer-Mirya Idli".

Do serve with coconut oil for the authentic flavor. Drizzle, Drop or smear - you decide!
