Here’s a healthy and hearty breakfast recipe. Most of the time when we come across food which can be made instantly, there is a catch to it. It may be instant but may not be healthy. This is something which can be made instantly and at the same time it’s healthy too.
Also, it’s one of the ways to include oats in your diet, if you aren’t a big fan of oats porridge.

Notes
I made only half the qty of the above recipe. I got 10 idli’s from half the qty. I used ¼ tsp of bicarbonate of soda for half the qty also. I used ½ – ¾ cup of water for half the qty.
You can add other veggies like cooked peas also in this recipe. Add it along with the cooked onions.
It’s better to serve it immediately.
