When I saw this recipe shared on a social media forum, I couldn’t wait to try it out. Idlis with just lentils!!

Yes! It’s possible and it’s wonderful too. Excellent results! Protein rich!

Idlis are steamed and made of fermented batter. Voted as a safe dish for anyone at anytime. They only got better with this recipe.

Method

• Wash and soak the lentils together, in enough water for 3-4 hours.

  Eating guide

• Food group: Lentils.
• Lentils can be easily combined with other food groups (except dairy and fruits).
• The whole versions of our standard dals are much better versions than the split versions - and they act as bodybuilders, so are great for growing toddlers.
• Cooking them oil-free ensures, there is lower digestive load on our bodies to eliminate the harmful effects of refined oil.
