Instant Daliya Idli | How to Make Daliya Idli | Healthy Daliya Idli

Idli is one the most popular breakfast options across India. While traditionally, it is made with fermented rice and lentil batter, now-a-days many instant idli variations made with healthy grains are getting popular too. Some of them include the instant oats idli, rava idli and ragi idli. You can find the oats and rava idli on my blog and I make them quite often, however, this time I thought of making the idli with daliya or the broken wheat and to my utter happiness, it came out absolutely perfect and spongy. If you too are looking for instant and healthy breakfast options to try, then I must say, this is the recipe you must go for.
