Oats, Rava and Palak Idli

As I have mentioned earlier, I have been following Mrs.Mallika Bhadrinath’s recipe for Rava( semolina) Idli for almost 16 years. I have tried many variations and it has always come out well.
And this was no exception:)
Perfect for breakfast as it has good complex carbohydrates, protein, fiber, vitamins and minerals.

  1. Hi Anu,
    I tried the Oats Rava Spinach Idly along with the Onion Tomato Spicy Chutney recipe of yours and they turned out awesome. My husband and I really loved the combination. I have added this combo to my list of breakfast items. Thank you Anu!
