Idli and Potato Ishtew

Today is a glorious Sunday .Usually our mornings begin late on Sundays,general lazing around is encouraged here...just on Sundays.
Everyone deserves a wee bit of laziness .
Sunday or Monday,lazy or not,rumbling tummies need some fillers ,anyways!!
Today's breakfast needed to be tasty,filling yet easy to make.
I chose to make a family favorite. Idli and Potato Ishtew[our own stew]
This is a light and tasty accompaniment which leaves you smiling ,and wanting for more.

Ishtew can be made with Potato, Tapioca and Mixed vegetables .Though my personal favorite is the Tapioca Ishtew,I used potato today.
