Thanks for visiting my blog.
The rava and masala idlis actually come out very spongy as I used Eno. Also the addition of the flours give some additional nutition specially for small kids.
I made these recently too and my kiddo did not eat them. But the variation from regular idli makes it so great.
ReplyDeleteI somehow always end up buying the readymade batter, one day i must try these!!!
