Instant Ragi Idli is tasty, healthy and easy to make. It is a good option for breakfast, evening snack or dinner. You can serve it for people with diabetics.

 

The summer is at it’s peak, nothing is more soothing than a glass of cold water. One needs to eat simple food that is tasty and nourishing for the body. Idli is ideal during summer. Here is another version of Idli.

Ragi or finger millet is regularly used at home these days. It is gluten free and good source of protein. It is rich in calcium, good carbohydrates and proteins. It helps to control diabetes and blood sugar. It is ideal for weight watchers. It helps in controlling anxiety and depression.

Moreover, it is ideal food for summer. It has cooling properties which helps the body to combat stress. A few other idli recipes that I have shared earlier :Chennai Idli, Sago Idli,

I had earlier shared the fermented version of ragi idli. But, I find this to be more simple and handy. One hardly require ten minutes for all the preparation, keep it aside for half an hour and later put it in the mould and steam.

A few pointers before I proceed to the recipe. Curds or yoghurt must be sour. Addition of veggies is optional, you can make without it. Once the baking soda is added, immediately put it in the moulds and keep it to steam.
