Kodo Millet Idli Recipe (Varugu Idli Recipe)
Cooking with millets series has made me think about new recipes which can be made using them all the time. I have share thinai idli recipe before, but it has rice in them..I wanted to make a idly recipe with no rice and finally i made this.
I should tell you, i never missed my normal rice idlies when i had this. Because they turned out so soft and fluffy. Hubby never believed that it is made with a millet..This made me so happy, because he didn't miss the regular idlies, plus this recipe has no rice. I served this with dal soup and it was yummy.
