Varagu Arisi Idli / Kodo Millet Idli

October 3, 2013 By Priya Shiva 2 Comments

Print Recipe
Idli is one of my family favourite breakfast. My kid loves it and even ready to eat it for lunch or dinner. I know what you are thinking that I’m exaggerating but believe me that’s how he is! So, I keep looking for options to make this family favourite breakfast more healthy and one of the ways I found is to make it with some kodo millets. Kodo Millet is high in fibre and low in sugar. It helps in managing blood sugar and weight management and specially useful for people who are suffering from diabetes or obesity. They also help in reducing constipation and lowers cholesterol levels. They are gluten free and high in proteins which will be highly beneficial for vegetarians. So, try out these healthy Varagarisi Idly  for breakfast and enjoy!
