BM #84 Week 2 Day 3 -
In this series of steamed meals, today's idlis were a surprise. They were instantly liked at home. These idlis are rice free as well, if we can excuse the use of Beaten rice/Poha.
The batter fermented very well and the idlis were soft and fluffy.

Wow, those idlis looks simply awesome, very fluffy idlies.

Your cracked wheat idlis look soft and fluffy Harini. Yummy recipe.
I love cracked wheat and this is a great recipe to use it. I have never thought of making idlis with cracked wheat. I use it to make rava idli, but not the fermented version. Bookmarking this to try soon.
I make these every once in a while as we love the texture. Yours looks really good.
The idlis look so soft. This too will be going into my bookmarks. Good one Harini.
