Oatmeal Idli’s (savory steamed cakes)

oatmeal idli

Oatmeal idli’s are my favorite breakfast recipe, only because Idli and Upma are the only way I can have oatmeal. I am not a cereal person at all… so when i stumbled across this recipe couple of years ago, instantly became a big fan. This is my healthy breakfast ..:)
It is soft, spongy and totally delicious.I have used regular old fashioned oats, semolina flour (sooji) you also could add, some wheat bran to make it fluffier, its optional.

The idli mix can be made well ahead of time (2 weeks in refrigerator) and used whenever you need it(. Just mix yogurt and and baking soda and mix is ready.
