Wheat Ravva Idly




  Today my recipe is wheat ravva idly. I have posted wheat idly previous. One day I was searching about healthy breakfast recipes then I got it. Next day I prepared it for breakfast along with coconut chutney, taste was yummy. It is very simple to make as well as nutritious food.
We never get bored to eat idlis daily by making these different types of idlis. You can add your favourite vegetables also. Here I used soaked moong dal and onions to wheat idly batter. Wheat is a good alternative for diabetics and weight-watchers. So when you feel guilty eating rice products, this is every healthy alternative. Curd is used in this recipe but can be substituted with curd prepared from low fat milk. Wheat is rich in catalytic elements, mineral salts, calcium, magnesium, potassium, sulfur, chlorine, arsenic, silicon, manganese, zinc, iodide, copper, vitamin B, vitamin E and ferments. Thereby, you can call wheat as the base foundation of nourishment. Issues like anemia, demineralization, gallstones, breast cancer, chronic inflammation, obesity, asthenia, tuberculosis, pregnancy problems and breastfeeding problems are smartly dealt by whole wheat. Wheat is also known to fight cholesterol. I hope you should add this recipe to your breakfast menu to maintain good health......Happy cooking........
