Poha Idli is another easy breakfast recipe to prepare for the busy mornings. They are soft, bright smiling white and delicious. Serve with coconut chutney. Poha Idli is easy to prepare as no soaking, grinding and fermentation is required.
Idli is the ideal breakfast for busy mornings. But, grinding the batter needs time and patience. Instant idlis as Rawa Idli and Ragi Idli always come to my rescue. But, when you want to make something different, give a try to this Poha Idli. Poha is flattened rice commonly used in South Indian households. This is easy poha idli recipe is ideal for all.
Poha and South Indians:
South Indians love using poha in their daily routine. It is so commonly used, chiwda is usually present in the kitchen shelves. Tangy beaten rice is tasty and usually served for breakfast. And not to mention, on the fasting days, it is a no cook food eaten by most people.

- 1 cup poha

- 2 cup sour yoghurt
- salt to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon soda
Method:
- Wash the flattened rice. Soak it for ten minutes.
- Mash it with a ladle.
- Add curd and idli rawa to it. Put salt and mix it. Keep it aside for twenty minutes.
- Heat a idli cooker. Add soda to the batter, mix it and immediately put it in the moulds.

Take a note:
- Poha Idli requires time as the flattened rice needs to be cooked. It is not ready in a jiffy as 1-2-3. Once they are cooked, leave them for sometime. They are too soft.
- I used the thin variety of flattened rice. You can use any variety.

Idlis with poha and idli rava sounds interesting yashree. I do add aa little quantity of poha in my idli dosa batter while grinding, but never tried with large quantities. The idlis looks very soft and fluffy.
