Most known, healthy and quite filling steamed breakfast dish in South India is Idli. Idli is prepared prominently with rice, urad dal and fenugreek seeds. Instant versions of this Idlies do exists, and this instant versions of idlis are seriously very easy to make. If you dont have idli batter, you can still stick with varieties of Instant versions of Idlies. Coming to this steamed dish, semolina aka rava is usually used in dishing out Instant versions of Idlies. However any sort of semolina can be used and here comes an another version of instant idli which i dished out with Sorghum semolina aka Jowar rava.You may wonder how this idly will be in taste and texture, i didnt find my difference between the usual instant rava idlies we do quite often.
You can mix and match the varieties of semolina depending upon your tastebuds. Coming to this Jowar rava idli, you just need to soak the jowar rava bit earlier so that it will be easy to work with.

Lovely color and these are my kind of idlis, instant versions as I rarely make idli batter at home.
Wow, Priya, idlis with Jowar rava have turned out perfect. What an amazing breakfast it would make with the chutney.
That is a nutrition packed idli right there. Love the use of jowar rava here. These are so filling and healthy way to start any day.
Amazing combination of jowar rava and oats, Priya. One more idli to try.
Your Idllis look so soft and fluffy. I too like to enjoy Idllis with garlic chutney!! Healthy and wholesome meal.
I was planning to make some jowar idlis tomorrow and here you are with that oats combo. Healthy and perfectly made idlis.
Jowar + oats idli can't ask for anything better. These are really good and love that subtle yellow color.
Instant idlis are definetely a boon and this jowar idli has come out so well. Healthy breakfast
