Traditionally idly is prepared with Udad dal and idly rava or udad dal and idly rice. But try adding something healthy like oats / quinoa. Have tried Oats idly sometime back and kids and my hubby loved it. This time I tried idly with Quinoa. Simple, soft and healthy dish for the whole family. You can ferment as regular idly or can make immediately adding eno fruit salt with out fermentation.

You wont believe my son survived only on peanut butter and bread through out his kindergarten.
