Horsegram Idli | how to make horsegram idli

Horsegram idli with step by step pictures.

I already have this horsegram idli recipe in my space which I tried from another blog during my early stage of blogging. The difference between this from that is here urad dal is used, whereas in that recipe dal is not used. As dal is used here you couldn't find any difference from regular idli and I was so satisfied to have fed my family with another healthy idli recipe.

You can find some different variety of idli recipe in my space, check the breakfast label to see more. I didn't use a grinder to ground the batter, just used my mixer to grind it. Soaking time is more kollu/horsegram.
