Green Gram Idli is prepared with whole lentils and is very light and
nutritious breakfast recipe. I love Idli too much and always love to experiment
with idli varities. I have tried regular urad dal-rice idli, instant poha idli,
oats and rava idli. Last weel, I have tried Pesera Pappu [whole moong idli] and
it came out nicely and it is completely a winning dish. Green gram or whole
moong is rich in fiber and potassium which helps in lower blood pressure. Idlis
in my opinion is a great steamed breakfast or snack item. We love idlis as our
dinner pretty often too. Generally, made with rice and urad dal, these steamed
cakes tastes great with piping hot sambar and a variety of chutneys. On days
when you want to make something simple yet filling and in just a teaspoon of
oil, these idlis are your go to recipe. Though I have kept it pretty simple but
you can make it adding pepper powder, green chilli, ginger or you can also add
shredded coconut or onions. Here is the recipe for you all.
