Poha Idli is another easy breakfast recipe to prepare for the busy mornings. They are soft, bright smiling white and  delicious. Serve with coconut chutney. Poha Idli is easy to prepare as no soaking, grinding and fermentation is required.

Idli is the ideal breakfast for busy mornings. But, grinding the batter needs time and patience. Instant idlis as Rawa Idli and Ragi Idli always come to my rescue. But, when you want to make something different, give a try to this Poha Idli. Poha is flattened rice commonly used in South Indian households. This is easy poha idli recipe is ideal for all.

Poha and South Indians:

South Indians love using poha in their daily routine. It is so commonly used,  chiwda is usually present in the kitchen shelves. Tangy  beaten rice is tasty and  usually served for breakfast. And not to mention, on the fasting days, it is a no cook food eaten by most people.

About the event:

Poha Idli Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 cup poha
• 1.5 cup idli rawa
• 2 cup sour yoghurt
• salt to taste
• 1/4 teaspoon soda

Method:

1. Wash the flattened rice. Soak it for ten minutes.
2. Mash it with a ladle.
3. Add curd and idli rawa to it. Put salt and mix it. Keep it aside for twenty minutes.
4. Heat a idli cooker. Add soda to the batter, mix it and immediately put it in the moulds.
5. Cook it on moderate heat for twenty to twenty-five minutes.
6. Once they are done, turn off and keep it aside for sometime. Remove and serve with coconut chutney.

Take a note:

• Poha Idli  requires time as the flattened rice needs to be cooked. It is not ready in a jiffy as 1-2-3. Once they are cooked, leave them for sometime. They are too soft.
• I used the thin variety of flattened rice. You can use any variety.
