My family loves south Indian food. And our go-to breakfast has always been idli and dosa. It’s not only delicious but also healthy and keeps your stomach full. But the time it takes to prepare them started to become a constraint in the mornings. That is when my mom came up with this recipe of making idli’s in an instant way which would save us time and get us our favourite breakfast.
