Cheese sandwich is simple and easy to make in a minute.
For kids
Take two bread slices toast it with ghee (your wish) buy form grocery store the square shaped slices cheese coming as a pack (e.g.: singles). This cheese is available in almost all the grocery shops. Keep the cheese slice inbetween the two toasted bread slices. Cut diagonally and give your kids. They find it easy to hold and eat nicely.
My kid, she even don’t want to toast the bread. She is 3 year old . She used to make her own sandwich and eat it. She will takeout cheese slice from refrigerator keep the slice inbetween bread slices and she will eat it.
You can aslo make variation in this. Buy hot dog buns. Slice the butter stick ask your kid to open the hotdog bun (which has cut to open) and ask him/her to arrange the sliced butter sticks in straight line and him/her to close the bun and eat it. Since they are making they really enjoy this. I have seen this in my kid.
For Grownups
You can make a slight variation to what i have mentioned so that adults also like this sandwich. This is very simple sandwich which can be made in 2 mins. We need 2 mins only for toasing the bread. You can toast it using toaster or in dosa tava . This can be liked both by adults and kids.

For kids who don’t like chutneys this dosa is good since it can be eaten like a snack. Speciality of this dosa is no need of fermentation and also no need for Urud dhal.

This orati is a recipe made of plain rice flour which we get in Indian grocery. This I learned from Rajesh anna’s wife Priya anni. I am not sure this recipe belongs to which area. This is very simple to make. I can say this as aki roti/ rice roti but this is very thin and have to make like dosa size. This goes very well with Mutton curry made using coconut milk which is a Nagerkovil recipe. With that curry it tastes like Parotta. I will post that mutton curry also. This orati and Mutton milk curry is my hubby’s favourite. Whenever we used to go to my brother’s place we will ask for this this. Simple and Delicious Recipe if served with mutton curry.

How to put in tava
Ready to Eat
Ingredients
1. Rice flour – as needed
2. Salt -as needed
3. little oil
Preparation
1. Mix rice flour and salt. Spinkle /Add little water and mix well and make like chappathi dough.
2. Take some polythene sheet cut it into round shape. (You can use the shees of frozen vegetables cover if you don’t have plain polythene sheets)
3. Apply little oil on the paper and spread along.
4. Take a small ball size dough and keep pressing with hand on the paper and try to spread as thin as you can. (you can make thin like roast).
5. Heat the dosa tava. Apply little oil and put the paper on the tava with paper on the upper side. With in few seconds you will be able to take out the paper since it will start coming out automatically.
6. Cook both sides until it is done. It goes very well with Mutton curry.
Tips
While spreading the dough on the paper try tp spread the full space you can stretch little outside also. By doing this while putting on tava you can avoid the paper getting burnt. If you leave the paper plain and if the spreaded size is less than paper size while putting upside down the plain paper will get heat directly and will start shrinking.

Now we are going to see how to make gouthumai rotti. Gouthumai is a tamil word for Wheat so in English we can call this as Wheat Rotti. This rotti is not same as roti. This is good for Diabetic patients. My grandpa was diabetic patient so my granma used to make wheat recipe atleast one time a day. The most common recipes she used to cook are Gouthama dosai and Gouthma rotti. This is very simple recipe and good for health also.

Once I want to try some recipe which I have seen in the net. For that recipe corn flour is one of the ingredients. So I bought one full pack from the Indian grocery. For long time I don’t know how to finish that flour. So asusal I started searching for some recipes which use corn flour as the main ingredient. I came across “Makki Ki roti” (chappathi/roti made by mixing wheat flour and corn flour) which is North Indian recipe. Suddenly I remembered what my grandma said in my childhood days. I always make comments when my grandma makes dosa because she used to make thick dosa’s (like uthappam). That time she used to say that she is very good in making dosa’s and she used to make dosa made of corn batter for big family (I mean the family members count). She used to tell that in those days (40 yrs back) they used to soak corn and grind and make batter for dosa as we are doing with rice now. This gave me the idea why I should not make dosa with this corn flour. I tried out.
Ingredients
1. Idli batter – 1 cup
2. Cornflour – 2 cups
3. little salt and water
Preparation
Mix all the ingredients well and make Dosa. Eat with hot chutney’s like onion chutney which is the best combination.
Other Varieties
1. If you mix wheat flour instead of corn flour that becomes “WHEAT DOSA” or Gothumai Dosai.
2. If you mix Ragi flour instead of corn flour that becomes “RAGI DOSA”.
3. If you mix Maida flour instead of corn flour that becomes “MAIDA DOSA”.
4. If you mix kambu flour instead of corn flour that becomes “KAMBU DOSA”.
5. You can also make these dosa’s with out adding idli batter. You feel little bit sticky. To avoid that add idli batter.
