KAMBU IDLI RECIPE

Replacing white rice to millets and whole grains has become my latest addiction. Cannot agree when people say that whole grains and millets can be ground only for making dosa and adais. Try this combo it works fantastic for sooper soft idlies.  This is definitely a nutritious and healthy breakfast !!
