Idiyappam with Kosumalli (Brinjal / Egg plant gravy)



We don’t get time to make these kinds of breakfast during weekdays, if we go to native/ functions we get to eat this, I used to make it once a month, particularly in holidays. Now every day is a holiday😟. My husband and daughter like to have a different breakfast, not the usual ones. They have enough time to enjoy the breakfast, otherwise, they have their breakfast in a hurry and rush. I also have enough time to prepare😃
