Ottu shavige
OTTU SHAVIGE / CHOMAYI :
This one is a sure shot winner in any function. After all the celebrations, people remember only ottu shavige...they surely discuss how good or how bad they made it.
I learnt this particular recipe from my very dear friend Sharvari, who is a sanketi. This dish is an exceptional part of Sanketi cuisine.
Normally sanketis are very possessive about their ottu shavige or chomayi..as they lovingly call it and they never share their secret recipe; but my friend was kind enough to teach me this wonderful recipe.
Once I had tried making shavige, but the dough became so hard that it refused to come out of the pressing machine! After many such disasters, my friend came to my rescue. She taught me the way of making shavige wholeheartedly.
I am hereby thankful to my friend for this.
This is a sunday special in my house where me and my family come together to make this. Similarly, take help from your family and they will also enjoy making "Ottu shavige" or"Idiyappam"
The ingredients required to make this recipe are very minimal. So don't worry.. enjoy this yummy for the tummy recipe with your family and friends.
Happy cooking!
