OATS IDLI
We all know of oats as a breakfast which has innumerable health benefits.Normally at my home porridge is made with it and is not touched by my daughter.As I was thinking a good way to make her eat this wonder cereal,the idea of making idlis came to my mind.It would be a great breakfast or dinner option also.Oats,I came to know has a very good source of fibre and are rich in minerals,fibres and anti oxidants.They also lower blood sugar levels and cholesterol.It also has some starch and carbohydrates.It is filling,yet light on the tummy.As I set out to make this idli,I also added another ingredient,wheat rava.It gave the necessary bind to the idli and added to taste and flavour.

People who are switching on to a healthy diet can try this and get benefits from this grain.Oats Idli came out soft and fluffy as I have added fruit salt to it and since it is not fermented and made instantly,adding of this fruit salt becomes mandatory.Also I have seen the idlis remain soft for a large period of time and you can pack it for lunch boxes too.As my MIL is a diabetic,she relished on these and I am sure this is going to be a regular feature in my kitchen from now on wards.Let us see how I made this..
