Barnyard millet Idli / Kuthiraivali idli

Print Recipe
Idli is a popular South Indian breakfast usually made with rice and lentil. I can have idli for all three meals in a day or even for snacking :)..The recipe I’m sharing today is for Kuthiraivali idli which is another variation for the usual idlis as I have used barnyard millet instead of rice. Barnyard millet is high in fiber and rich in mineralst. The are gluten-free, low on sugar and even helpful for weight management. I have started using millet in daily diets knowing its benefits. So, sharing a step-wise recipe for a healthy breakfast and hope you all enjoy it too.
 Firstly soak the millet and lentil along in some water..
