If you ever go to, Chennai I suppose, one thing is for sure that your breakfast would definitely be dosa, idli and sambhar. Idli is a very light dish. And you will not feel lethargic even if you have some extra idlis just because of it’s delicious flavor and taste. Idli is equally loved in North India and you will find this in almost every restaurant’s menu. Though making idli is a lengthy process as preparing the batter takes a lot of time and you have to soak the ingredients.
Thanks to the north indian version of regular idli i.e. rawa idli. So, when the mood strikes for yummy, piping hot Idlis, but the batter has not been fermented overnight, turn to this easy, yet delicious Instant Idlis.
