Idlis are one of the most loved breakfast dishes in South India—soft, fluffy, and easy to digest. Traditionally made with rice ravva or rice, idlis are now being prepared with healthier alternatives like millets. Among them, Kodo Idly Ravva stands out as a wholesome choice. Packed with fiber, protein, and essential minerals, it not only makes your idlis light and filling but also supports weight management and better digestion.
Kodo Idly Ravva is a gluten-free, chemical-free millet product that is naturally rich in fiber and antioxidants. It is a healthier replacement for regular rice ravva, especially for people with diabetes or those looking to lose weight. Unlike refined rice, Kodo millet keeps you fuller for longer, prevents sugar spikes, and provides sustained energy throughout the day.
Ingredients:
2 cups Kodo Idly Ravva
1 cup Urad Dal (split black gram)
1 tsp Fenugreek seeds
Salt as needed
Water for soaking and grinding
Method:
Wash urad dal and fenugreek seeds thoroughly. Soak them in water for 4–5 hours.
Soak Kodo Idly Ravva separately for 2 hours.
Grind the urad dal into a smooth, fluffy batter by adding little water gradually.
Drain excess water from the soaked Kodo Idly Ravva and mix it with the urad dal batter.
Add salt and mix well. Leave the batter to ferment overnight (8–10 hours) in a warm place.
Grease idli moulds, pour the fermented batter, and steam for 10–12 minutes.
Remove carefully and serve hot with chutney or sambar.
Ensure the batter is well-fermented—it gives the idlis their softness.
Do not add too much water while grinding. The batter should be thick but fluffy.
Use fresh Kodo Idly Ravva for best results.
Cooking with Kodo Idly Ravva is simple and rewarding. With its health benefits and delicious taste, it makes a perfect breakfast for the whole family. Try this recipe once, and you’ll love the soft, fluffy texture of millet-based idlis.
