Oats Idli
Soft, fluffy, and packed with wholesome goodness, these oats idlis made using a nourishing mix of rava (semolina) and finely ground oats offer a healthy twist to the beloved South Indian classic. Rich in fiber and low in fat, oats help regulate digestion, keep you fuller for longer, and provide sustained energy throughout the day. When combined with rava and steamed to perfection, the result is a light, airy idli that’s both satisfying and easy on the stomach. Ideal for busy mornings or light evening meals, these idlis can be paired with chutneys, sambar, or even enjoyed plain with a drizzle of ghee. A simple yet powerful way to bring balance, health, and flavor to your everyday meals—because eating well should always feel this comforting.
