Idly, Thakkali Gosthu

Iam looking for quick side-dishes for idly, if you want to help me, please suggest me a quick side-dish for idly. I could spare just 10 mins in the morning to prepare a sidee for idli's. if coconut is grated and freezed, then its coconut chutney, and other day is for tomato chutney. Today i prepared this Tomato Gosthu for break-fast. the left over gosthu, was served for lunch, with boiled eggs. such a 2 in 1 dish has to be blogged here isn't it?

Thakkali Gosthu / Tomato Gojju

This Tomato Gosthu is the first dish, that i cooked for my father. it took me 45 mins to serve my father Idly and Tomato gosthu, during my college days. Now within 10 - 15 minutes, iam preparing this dish easily.

Thakkali chutney, peanut chutney, kothamalli chutney, karuveppilai chutney....these can be made very quickly and served with idli. Having molaga podi handy is also a good thing.
