Ragi Idli
My family and I have usually had red rice idlies for breakfast. However, about two months ago, we got bored of having red rice idlies only. This is when I started exploring other varieties of idli recipes. and tried the combination below with ragi. I found it to be very easy to make. Along with that, my whole family loved these ragi idlies. It is also very healthy and tastes yummy. Now, one week I make red rice idlies and another week I make these delicious ragi idlies. Hope you like them!
